Save $2.67 on your favorite coffee drink--- and impact the world

Here's a clever way to find room in your budget to support a missionary:

Here's the recipe to make your favorite iced coffee drink at home.
You avoid buying it at your local shop and save yourself at least $2.67.
Did you know $2.67 saved 4 times a week is $45.92 per month?
So here's my idea: Enjoy your iced coffee all month AND support a missionary for $40/month.

You get to support a great cause, AND for the $5.92 you just saved, go out to your local BuckStars coffee shop and celebrate with a cold coffee drink.


Ingredients (From: http://www.mahalo.com)
You'll need the following ingredients to make one 16 oz. Frappudrink.
Double or halve the recipe as needed:
1-2 cups ice
½ cup double-strength coffee (dark roast is recommended)
½ cup lowfat milk or half-and-half
1-2 tablespoons sugar, depending on your sweet tooth
1-2 tablespoons chocolate or other flavored syrup, or caramel
Optional: whipped cream for garnishing; extra chocolate syrup to drizzle over garnish


  1. Brew a pot of fresh, double-strength dark roast coffee. (You can make your coffee double-strength by using twice the recommended amount of coffee per pot, or 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per cup.)
  2. Chill your coffee before mixing up the frappudrink. (Or, mix a third of your ice into the coffee before adding it to your blender.)
  3. Break out the blender and Blend all ingredients except ice on high speed for 20+ seconds, until the sugar has dissolved.
  4. Add ice and blend another 20+ seconds, until the mixture is smooth, or "just slushy" in its consistency.
  5. If desired, top with whipped cream and drizzled syrup.
