Mission (im)possible

My allergies suck, and they make me stay inside. Hence I will be bored by the end of the week, and need something to keep me busy the rest of the summer. Yes, I know I can tidy up and clean and everything as well as watch crap on TV, but I need more!

Ever since I came back from Abu Dhabi I have been longing for a Starbucks Mocha Frappuccino. So my mission for the summer is to make a Mocha Frappuccino that tastes good. I have no ambition of replicating their masterpiece, but I want to make something that will keep me somewhat satisfied until Starbucks enter Norway (if ever).

I tried today, complete faliure. The taste wasn't all bad, but it wasn't nearly as thick as it should be. This is what I did:

Filled a glass with icecubes
Filled the glass (almost) with whole milk
One shot of espresso
Chocolate sauce by taste

Put it all into the blender and.. blended.

Next time I'll use less milk, more ice, more (and better) chocolate sauce and perhaps some cream in addition to the milk. Apparently americans use something they call half and half, which is half milk and half cream. Might try this as well.
