LA Times reads my fortune


You're a Generous Spirit

You thrive on new experiences. You live a wonderfully rich and varied life, and have inspiring levels of enthusiasm and passion for everything that you do. Intellectually curious and well-read, you like to keep on top of all the latest issues. You do your best to live a healthy lifestyle and manage to balance this with a busy social life. You get great fulfillment from doing your bit for society and enjoy being an active member of the local community. But it's also important to be able to kick back and relax from time to time. After all, you deserve it.

Freppe


The only problem with a good iced coffee is that, like its hot form, you just can't stop. When it's full of sweet cream, sugar or ice cream, it can be as fattening as any sweet.


Things You'll Need:
  • Blender
  • Large Glass
  • 1/3 c. whole milk
  • 1 c. cubed ice
  • 1 to 2 tsp. sugars
  • 2 tbsp. vanilla ice cream
  • 2/3 c. strong coffees

--------
  1. Prepare 2/3 c. strong coffee.
  2. While the coffee is still warm, add 1 tsp. sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved.
  3. Add 1/3 c. milk and stir.
  4. Place 1/2 c. ice in blender and add sweetened coffee.
  5. Turn the blender on and off quickly a few times to break up the ice.

  6. Add 2 tbsp. vanilla ice cream. Turn blender on to Medium and blend.
  7. After the coffee and ice have blended, add another 1/2 c. ice.
  8. Blend until smooth. If you want a thicker frappe, add a little more ice.

  9. Pour into large glass and serve immediately.
