Where to Find K-Cups

K-Cups can be purchased in grocery stores, department stores, home stores (like Bed Bath & Beyond), and discount online sites, such as Coffee for Less.

COFFEE

The first step of course, is to brew the coffee. It can be any flavor that you desire: from vanilla, mocha, french vanilla, espresso, to anything else. If you rather just use the candy all you have to do is melt it down in the microwave or in a glass bowl (within a large pot of course) over the stove top. When, one or the other is done it can be added into your flour mix.

FLOURS

As it was stated early, brown or white rice flour would be the preferable choice to use besides wheat flour because it is naturally sticky and will hold together better much better than any other gluten free flour. If you’d rather use wheat, of course, you are welcome, too. The gluten will keep the cake together.

FIRST BITE

When, you take your first bite into this delectable, sweet treat you will be glad you tried this version. Since you already have your coffee, grad a tall glass of milk, chocolate milk, or even a cup of tea and dig right on in.

DESSERTS

Starbucks does have a gluten free dessert option. It’s called Valencia orange cake. This delicious gluten free cake has a moist, delicate, tender texture. It is a refreshingly light cake with blends of almonds and premium Valencia oranges. All of its ingredients include whole eggs, almond, sugar, Valencia orange pulp, orange oil, and baking powder.

COFFEE

The caffe latte is the original coffeehouse classic. Part of its appeal is the simplicity. A caffè latte is made up of one or two shots of bold, tasty espresso with fresh, sweet steamed milk over it. Some even like to add syrup or extra espresso to the recipe.

Frappaccino is coffee with a flavors powder, blended with milk and ice. Then it is topped with sweetened whipped cream. Very refreshing amd cooling during a hot summer time evening.

TEA

Tazo teas are available brewed or iced. One sip and you’ll find it to be extremely flavorful. Their premium black tea gets a snappy little splash of citrus and is shaken, not stirred, with ice.

NEIGHBORHOOD

So don’t forget to stop into on of your communities local Starbucks coffee house. It even has wi-fi service, so sit down, sip your beverage, and bite into a slice of cake.

This is a good way to control not only your costs, but your calories. Where a cup of coffee shop frappe can up upwards of 700 calories for an extra large, by using artificial sweetener, the only calories here are in the milk.

You’ll need to make a pot of strong coffee. Not espresso, but add an extra scoop or two of coffee to the pot.

Once it is brewed, sweeten the coffee to taste, then let it cool completely.

Pour out about 8 ounces of coffee into a container from which you can pour easily. Add an equal amount of milk of choice: whole, skim, soy. Pour this mixture into ice cube trays and freeze. When they are frozen (at least 48 hours to make sure they are frozen hard) put into a sealed bag or container. It prevents them from being dissipated by the fan in a frost free refrigerator freezer. Store the rest of the coffee in the refrigerator until you’re ready to make your frappe. Or heat it back up and have a cup.

To make a Coffee Frappé, you will need:

1. 4 to 8 coffee and milk cubes
2. ½ cup to one cup cold coffee
3. a blender (an immersion or “stick” blender works well)

Place about 1/3 of a cup of coffee and coffee cubes in the blender. Pulse it several times. Add more coffee gradually until is a nice, slushy consistency.

If you like flavored coffees, you can add flavoring syrup to the blender. If you are really feeling adventurous, you can add a little taste of something alcoholic. How cool would that be, to have frozen Irish Coffee for St. Patrick’s Day?
