I found this recipe, and 'tweaked' it to make it SB friendly. I imagine I'll be making this alot this summer!

ALMOST STARBUCK'S FRAPPUCCINO

3 ounces hot espresso (or double-strength regular coffee)

1/4 cup Splenda

2-1/2 cups milk (low-fat or skim)

1 tsp arrowroot

1 cup ice

If you do not have an espresso maker, brew double-strength coffee by doubling the amount of grinds you usually use (Starbucks brews Italian roast). Stir the Splenda into the hot espresso. Allow to cool. Stir the milk and arrowroot into the coffee and Splenda mixture until dissolved. Pour the mixture into a glass filled with ice, or pour the ingredients plus ice into the blender and process on "frappe" for 30 to 45 seconds. If you like, you can top the drink with whipped cream and your choice of garnish (cinnamon, chocolate sprinkles, etc.). Yield: Four 6-ounce servings

Variations:

• Mocha: Add a pinch of cocoa powder

• Chocolate Brownie: Add a pinch of cocoa powder and 2 tablespoons chocolate chips
