i may have mentioned before that i worked as a barista at a local cafe for 4 years during grad school and part of doctoral school. one of the things i loved doing was experimenting with different frappe flavors, and i still like doing this at home.
when i have free time, i like to brew a large batch of my favorite decaf coffee and put it in the fridge for myself for quick-access iced coffee. i brewed a large batch last weekend since i knew i had a busy week in the theater and at the pavilion.
i often whip together a drink when i'm running out the door, so i don't have time to snap a photo. however, one evening last week when i had a few free moments at home, i used some of the brewed cold coffee for a frappe. i grabbed what i had on hand in the kitchen to make a delicious frappe treat. this frappe combines chocolate, peanut butter, and almond for a great choco-nut flavor!

Yummm! This looks delicious and refreshing!
That coffee drink looks delicious. I always loved your coffee mocha that you have made and I was thinking about that during this hot spell.
