This refreshing chopped salad was so tasty, my girls and I were fighting over the last serving. If you’ve never had jicama, it’s a slightly sweet, mild flavored, very moist and very crunchy root vegetable from Mexico. It’s also very high in fiber and Vitamin C. I can buy precooked barley in the freezer section of my grocery store. If you can’t find the precooked variety, I share simple cooking instructions below.

Recipe Description

Tired of wasting half your paycheck on coffee house drinks? Pull up a chair and let me make your life a little easier. No blender needed!

Preparation Instructions

In a 16 oz. Mason jar, put all your ingredients followed with the ice cubes. Put the lid and ring on and shake, shake, shake!

Taste it. Does it need a little more sweetener? I don’t like mine horribly sweet, so I stick with one packet of Splenda. The creamer and chocolate syrup will add the rest of the sugar to sweeten the drink.

As for the creamer, I used Coffeemate Italian Sweet Cream. It’s nondescript, sweet and creamy and lets the coffee and chocolate shine through. But, if you like hazelnut or coconut cream, go for it!

At this point, you can drink it right out of the jar or pour it over crushed ice and top with whipped cream and drizzle more chocolate for an authentic coffee house experience.

Ingredients

¾ cups Brewed Strong Coffee, Room Temperature
¾ cups Milk
1 package Sweetener, A Single Serve Packet, Your Choice
2 Tablespoons Chocolate Syrup
2 Tablespoons Liquid Coffee Creamer, Your Flavor Of Choice
3 whole Ice Cubes

p.s…the chocolate syrup makes this a mocha frap, you can certainly exchange it for caramel syrup or another flavor of your choice.
But, I haven’t made it with anything but the chocolate, so YMMV on that

Great idea! I love my frozen iced lattes I make at home in the blender but your version is equipment free!

SOOOO yummy! I love this! I think this will be my go-to coffee drink for the rest of the summer, and Lord knows we need a cold go-to coffee drink in Texas in August. And it is going to save me lots of money since I’m not buying stuff from the local coffee shop! Thanks for posting!I’m gonna try it next with crushed ice, to see if it turns out more like a smoothie.

any drink that is specifically made to be in a mason jar is high on my list.

Thanks for sharing this, great idea!

This is a fantastic idea! We already do iced coffee with cold-brewed and flavored soy milk, but adding the coffee creamer and shaking it in the jar made for a super yummy, foamy drink. Drinking it out of the mason jar was fun too! Thanks for the awesome “recipe.”

Perfect recipe as in, no changes, no modificatioins, perfectly perfect.

Great recipe. I found that I did not need to add any sweetener. It was already sweet enough from the chocolate syrup and the creamer. I used Bailey’s non-alcoholic chocolate flavored creamer.

Thanks for this!! I was considering buying a frappe machine ($80!) but you saved me with this I used what I had in the fridge which was caramel syrup and caramel macchiato by CoffeeHouse, oh and instant coffee. So good, quick and easy!

Christy on 4.20.2011

Absolutely wonderful!!!! The only thing I did differently is used ff half and half, just because that’s what I had on hand. Thanks for a great recipe!!!

This is so good! It has become a go-to quick drink recipe for my family. Seems one of us always has one of these in their hands now a days. Great recipe! thank you!

This was fabulous just the way it is. I can’t do normal coffee, gives my heart issues, so I did this with decaf. So sorry starbucks, I can make my own decaf drinks…
Thank you for sharing!!!!
