Starbucks lemon pound cake while shaped like a lemon bread, this really is more of a lemon cake, specifically a lemon pound cake.

Recipe Summary Starbucks&Reg; Mocha Frappuccino&Reg; Replica

I created this recipe myself. I wanted something that tasted like the brand-name stuff but without the steep cost! I kept the recipe simple only using coffee, milk, and sugar like the brand name does. Concentrate stays good in the refrigerator for a month.

Ingredients | Starbucks Lemon Cake

6 cups cold water

½ pound dark roast ground coffee beans

cheesecloth

coffee filters

5 cups 1% milk

½ (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk

3 tablespoons white sugar

1 teaspoon white sugar

1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder

½ cup hot tap water

Directions

Mix 6 cups water and coffee in a 1/2-gallon jar (such as Ball®) until grounds are completely saturated. Steep for 24 hours at room temperature, stirring occasionally.

Transfer the coffee to the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour.

Place a small colander on top of a tall, lidded plastic container. Line colander with a 6-inch square of cheesecloth; fit a coffee filter on top.

Pour about 1 cup of the coffee into the colander until filter begins to clog. Lift the corners of the cheesecloth carefully; twist the cloth and filter to extract the liquid. Drain the remaining liquid 1 cup at a time, using a new coffee filter each time. Repeat the process with the grounds, filtering 1 cup at a time; squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Refrigerate the concentrate until ready to use.

Combine concentrate, 1% milk, and condensed milk in a 1/2-gallon jar.

Dissolve 3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon sugar and cocoa powder together in a bowl of hot tap water. Add to the coffee-milk mixture; cover the jar and shake well.

Use your favorite brand of coffee. I don't think the coarseness of the grounds is an issue. Fine-ground coffee may offer more flavor, but it will be harder to filter.

I started this recipe using whole milk. Well that combined with the condensed milk was kind of like a lactose bomb and was tough on the tummy so I use 1% now. Feel free to use any grade lowfat milk you prefer.
