Banana Mint
Banana Mint
Does anybody know where I can get the best frozen coffee recipeces for free online? (like starbucks)?
U know how they have the frozen mint mocha frappe and the mango banana smoothie recipeces. Preferably online and free recipces? We plan to blend them in a blender.
I suggest recipes.com or copykat.com. Starbucks uses a thick, chunky syrup for all their frozen drinks. We have them at our “we proudly serve Starbuck’s” coffee house at work. For the fruit smoothies, I suggest looking for frozen, concentrated mango juice at your grocer or secialty shop, or mango concentrate in the alcohol/mixers section of a liquor store. The other stuff is made from these thick syrups they just add ice and milk to and blend. Mint mocha isn’t hard – use instant coffee, chocolate syrup, a splash of milk and go to World Market and buy some Torani peppermint syrup or use peppermint extract and add it to milk and ice.
