Here's one that I get requests for all of the time, and that you won't yet find in any book. This is a clone for Starbuck's "Lowfat Creamy Blend of Coffee & Milk" that you can now find in the all-too-puny 9 1/2-ounce bottles in most stores. Those little bottles will set you back at least a buck, but this Top Secret Recipes version costs a mere fraction of that. Plus, the recipe actually makes enough that you can get a pretty major caffeine buzz. Then, when you get down to the "Tidbits" I'll tell you how to clone espresso with a standard drip machine and ground coffee. Cool! 1/2 cup fresh espresso Combine all of the
ingredients in a pitcher or covered container. Stir or
shake until sugar is dissolved. Chill and serve cold. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com) Tidbits To make the
"Mocha" variety: To fake espresso
with a drip coffee maker and standard grind of coffee: *This is a natural thickener found in fruits that is used for canning. You can find it in the supermarket near the canning supplies. It is used in this recipe to make the drink thicker and creamier, and can be found in the original recipe. It does not add to the flavor and can be excluded if you don't care so much about duplicating the texture of the real thing. Check out the e-mail tips & notes for this recipe. Please
