Non-dairy Frappucino Substitute

I just read a nifty tutorial on making a Frappucino substitute on thekurths.com

I left in the comments my own Frappucino substitute, so I thought I'd post it here.

I make a similar drink sans dairy. I mix 3 cups of vanilla soymilk (Silk brand) with 1/4 cup coffee (I like a richly-brewed French Roast) then add sugar to taste.

I found this because I brew half a pot of French Roast for myself almost every day, and sometimes when I use a smaller mug I end up with a little sitting in the pot that gets cold.

This is a great way to use "leftover coffee" - just don't let it sit on the burner too long.

I think a half-gallon of Vanilla Silk Soymilk runs about $2.80, the coffee varies in cost, but since I use "leftover coffee" from my daily pot I'll call it free. I don't add chocolate to mine and I add probably 1 tablespoon of sugar to a batch. I don't know how much one tablespoon of sugar costs.

This means that I make 3 cups of the stuff for a little over a dollar. It's probably a little more per serving than the Kurks' recipe, but much less than Frappucino - and non-dairy which I need due to my lactose intolerance.
