Nearly Instant Iced Cappuccino

No, it doesn’t have the perfect texture of the ones at the fast food restaurants, but you can make it in under five minutes without leaving the house.

1 tablespoon instant coffee granules (flavoured ones are nice, but regular is fine, too)

sugar to taste

1 ounce hot water

6 ice cubes

shot of canned whipped cream (optional)

6 ounces milk

Dissolve the coffee (and sugar, if you like it) in the hot water. Add to blender container along with the ice cubes and blend until ice is crushed. Pour in milk and give it one more quick zap. Serve in a glass with a straw and garnish with whipped cream if desired.

If you want a mocha flavour, you can either add a tablespoon of chocolate syrup (for making chocolate milk) to the coffee/hot water mix or add a shot of crème de cacao to the finished product.
