Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino Replica

Infuse the Coffee Concentrate: In a half-gallon jar, marry 6 cups of cold water with the dark roast coffee grounds. Ensure the grounds are fully saturated. Allow this mixture to steep at room temperature for a full 24 hours, stirring gently from time to time to encourage a deep infusion. (Time: 24 hours)

Chill the Brew: Transfer the steeped coffee to the refrigerator and let it chill for at least 1 hour. This step is crucial for a smooth, clean flavor profile. (Time: 1 hour)

Craft the Filtration System: Position a small colander over a tall, lidded plastic container. Line the colander with a square of cheesecloth, approximately 6 inches, and top it with a coffee filter to create a multi-layered filtration system.

Filter the Coffee: Gently pour about 1 cup of the coffee mixture into the prepared colander. As the filter begins to clog, carefully gather the corners of the cheesecloth, twisting it to extract the liquid. Continue this process, filtering 1 cup at a time and replacing the coffee filter with each batch. Repeat with the remaining grounds, squeezing out every last drop of liquid gold. (Time: 30 minutes)

Refrigerate the Concentrate: Store the resulting coffee concentrate in the refrigerator until you're ready to assemble your Frappuccino. (Time: Until ready to use)

Combine Base Ingredients: In a separate half-gallon jar, blend the coffee concentrate with the 1% milk and sweetened condensed milk. This forms the creamy foundation of your Frappuccino.

Prepare the Chocolate Sweetener: In a small bowl, dissolve the sugars and cocoa powder with the hot tap water, creating a luscious chocolate syrup. (Time: 5 minutes)

Final Assembly: Introduce the chocolate syrup to the coffee-milk mixture. Secure the lid on the jar and shake vigorously until well combined. Your homemade Mocha Frappuccino is now ready to be served and savored! (Time: 2 minutes)
