Starbucks Frappuccino recipe
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed and Follow me on Twitter Thanks for visiting!
Here’s one that I get requests for all of the time,
and that you won’t yet find in any book. This is a
clone for Starbuck’s “Lowfat Creamy Blend of Coffee
& Milk” that you can now find in the all-too-puny
9 1/2-ounce bottles in most stores. Those little
bottles will set you back at least a buck, but this
Top Secret Recipes version costs a mere fraction of that.
Plus, the recipe actually makes enough that you can get
a pretty major caffeine buzz. Then, when you get down to
the “Tidbits” I’ll tell you how to clone espresso with a
standard drip machine and ground coffee. Cool!
1/2 cup fresh espresso
2 1/2 cups lowfat milk (2 percent)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon dry pectin*
Combine all of the ingredients in a pitcher or covered container.
Stir or shake until sugar is dissolved. Chill and serve cold.
Makes 24 ounces.
Tidbits
To make the “Mocha” variety:
Add a pinch (1/16 teaspoon) of cocoa powder to the mixture before
combining.
To fake espresso with a drip coffee maker and standard grind of
coffee:
Use 1/3 cup ground coffee and 1 cup of water.
Brew once then run coffee through machine again, same grounds.
Makes about 1/2 cup fresh espresso to use in the above recipe.
Run a pot of water through machine, without grounds, to clean.
*This is a natural thickener found in fruits that is used for
canning. You can find it in the supermarket near the canning
supplies. It is used in this recipe to make the drink thicker
and creamier, and can be found in the original recipe. It does
not add to the flavor and can be excluded if you don’t care so
much about duplicating the texture of the real thing.

Hello, I am wondering what stores you have found that carry these “all-to-punny” 9 1/2 oz bottles. You do mean that you are buying them empty and filling them with what you make, right?? I’m in need of several of this type of bottle. Thanks for any assistance that you can provide.

Lauri, he’s talking about the Starbucks bottled drinks you buy in the grocery store. Most major stores carry them.
What would you suggest addiing to make the vanilla flavored version of the drink?
YUMMY! I used Splenda, stirred both the sweetener and pectin into the hot coffee until they dissolved, then added the milk. I made a triple batch and kept it in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator. I do watch carbs, so will try it using Carb Countdown next time. What a delicious treat!
I tried the recipe with the pectin and got a fruity taste to the coffee. Not so tasty! Anything else to make it creamy?
Is it ok to use half and half?
