Pumpkin Frappuchino

Sorry, no pic for this one!  (at least not yet)

This is a really simple recipe for a delicious smoothie.  The only thing- you need to make the frozen pumpkin cubes ahead of time, so make sure to plan for that!

Ingredients
1 c cold brew coffee (We used instant coffee)
1 c milk (we used almond milk)
1/4 c pumpkin butter
2 Tbsp agave nectar
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice

Instructions
  1. To prepare cold brew coffee, place 2 cup ground coffee – the bolder the better – into a bowl, top it with 4 cups of water and place it in the refrigerator overnight. Strain in the morning and reserve the leftover in the fridge. (since we used instant coffee, I dissolved it in a small bit of hot water, then added enough cold water to make 1 cup of coffee)
  2.  Prepare milk ice cubes in advance by pouring your milk of choice into a bowl and mixing in pumpkin butter, agave nectar and pumpkin pie spice. Whisk to ensure even distribution.
  3. Pour mixture into an ice cube tray, covering lightly with saran wrap, and freezing overnight. (we froze ours for a few hours, and that was good enough!)
  4. Place 1 cup coffee and 8-10 pumpkin ice cubes in a blender and blend until smooth. Taste and add extra agave if you prefer a sweeter beverage (This was not needed). Additionally, add more pumpkin pie spice or pumpkin butter if you prefer a spicier flavor.
