My DD loves frozen coffee and makes her own all the time.She Just refrigerates leftover coffee and uses that.I think the ones you buy at places like Starbucks,etc. use stronger coffee but to me thaey are too strong.I like using the regular coffee.She has one of those "Bullet" blenders.(As seen on the infomercial. LOL)She fills it with ice,pours the coffee over as if she were making iced coffee,adds cream and sweetener of choice,or one of the flavored creamers or syrups,blend it until all the ice is slushy.They are really good.I have made one with ice cream.Just fill the container with ice cream,pour the coffee over it and blend.Think I'll go make myself one right now!LOL

I had a frozen frappa-something-or-other in Cozumel and loved it. I'd like to find out how to make it at home.

This gardening/preserving life certainly has taught me a lot about life. It makes me wonder - too - about the changes in climate that I have seen in this part of the world. It's hard for me to believe that "mere man" could be causing these weather changes - but perhaps. We had lots of very cold and rainy weather - mostly winter -so probably good for fruit trees. On the other hand, tomatoes are usually grown in winter in this part of the country, but certainly not in my back yard. I just picked my first cherry tomato yesterday. The vines are running all over the place. With my advancing age, I just decided to let "em" ramble. They probably can find there way - somehow - to see their way clear to burst up through the squash vines - to get a peak of sunlight. Well - finally finishing up the last of the "cots" and picked slightly green - putting them under screens to ripen - not as good as tree ripe, but at least I gave my winged friends the message - somewhat. The next tree will be awhile - thank goodness. Things are beginning to come ripe fast - now that we've had 2 days of sunshine. Crazy weather - I agree. bejay

Do you have T&T frozen yogurt recipe?

Below is not T&T, but it sounds interesting and gets good ratings from the testers. It makes 4 servings which sounds just perfect for your Donvier: PEACHES AND CREAM ICE CREAM INGREDIENTS 1 cup cool water 3/4 cup superfine sugar (if you donÃ¯Â¿Â½t have superfine sugar, simply blitz some granulated sugar in a blender or food processor until super finely ground but not powdery) 4 ripe peaches, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks 3 tablespoons peach schnapps, brandy, or orange flavored liqueur 1/4 cup heavy cream 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (preferably full-fat) 2 tablespoons chopped toasted hazelnuts (optional) INSTRUCTIONS Bring the water and the sugar to a boil in a saucepan, stirring occasionally. Simmer until the mixture forms a clear syrup. Place the peaches in a bowl and pour the hot syrup over them. Stir in the schnapps, brandy, or liqueur and let cool. Using a slotted spoon, transfer half the fruit to a small bowl and set aside. Pour the remaining peaches and all of the syrup into a blender or food processor and blend along with the cream and the yogurt to the desired consistency. If using an ice-cream maker, pour the mixture into the machine and follow the manufacturerÃ¯Â¿Â½s instructions. If not using an ice-cream maker, pour the mixture into a large shallow container, such as a metal baking pan, and place in the freezer. Whisk the mixture every 30 minutes. Toward the end of the freezing process, fold in the reserved peaches and the hazelnuts. Enjoy immediately or transfer to a container and freeze a little longer if youÃ¯Â¿Â½re the sort who likes a slightly firmer texture. Regardless, you may wish to remove the ice cream from the freezer about 10 or so minutes prior to serving to soften it slightly. Here is a link that might be useful: Peaches and Cream Ice Cream

Do you like frozen coffee?

I don't know about the frozen coffee. I've never had it. Some of the artificially flavored stuff makes me physically ill. I've bought coffee flavor ice cream a couple of times and added it to my coffee. It can be dressed up with whip cream, vanilla, half and half or a sprinkling of cocoa. That tastes a lot like a gourmet type product to me.

A first thing in the morning infusion of caffeine is a lifeline for me!! My day doesn't get started until I have a mug of coffee in hand. I use a French press and have for years - it is quick, efficient and makes IMO the best coffee ever. My sister insists on her fancy-schmancy Italian espresso maker for her morning latte or cappuchino, but I prefer mine straight and black - no flavors ever........unless it is a dessert type, after dinner coffee drink with liquor :-) Living in the land of Starbucks and great coffee in general, good beans are not hard to find and I usually get bulk beans from one or more different outlets. Always dark roast. I prefer a coarse grind for the French press, so I get a pound a week and grind them onsite. I've yet to find a good home grinder that will produce the proper texture. And they don't lose any flavor that I can notice by grinding them and between the air tight canister and how little time they hang around, they remain fresh. I don't steep the French press long - mine actually came with a little egg-timer like device to time it. But I make it strong to begin with so long steeping is not necessary. And that first cup in the morning is like the nectar of the gods!! I could go without a lot of things in my life but coffee is not one of them!

Here is Starbucks Frozen Frappuccino recipe and it sounds good enough for me to try too!
I love afternoon coffee but when its hot I end up drinking ice tea.

Starbucks Frozen Frappuccino
Ingredients
3/4 cup double-strength coffee, cold
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 cup low-fat milk
2 cups ice
Caramel topping, 3 Tbs
Whipped Cream
Hersheys Chocolate Syrup 3 tbs

Directions
Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker: That should be 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per each cup of coffee. Chill before using.
To make drink, combine all ingredients in a blender and blend on high speed until ice is crushed and drink is smooth. Pour into two 16-ounce glasses, and serve with a straw.
CARAMEL Version:
For this version, add 3 tablespoons of caramel topping to the original recipe and prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream and drizzle additional caramel over the whipped cream.
MOCHA Version:
For this version, add 3 tablespoons Hershey's chocolate syrup to the original recipe and prepare as described. Top each glass with whipped cream, if desired.

On the box for Nestle Quick it gives directions for making a Nestle Quick smoothy- milk, quick powder, and ice. I had been making them for my kids last summer when I saw a jar of instant coffee in my pantry and thought hmmm....Mom's smoothy needs something more.

I don't like to drink instant coffee, I used it for a brownie recipe. But it was just fine in my Nestle Quick Mocha Frappe. ;o) I just mixed the coffee into the milk, as much as it would take for how many ounces of milk I had (3 tsp maybe? with 8 oz milk), added the quick, the ice, and blended.
