Move over Starbucks! I loved the froth on top and the classic chai flavors. I acutally think I could have done with more cardamom, but then again, I love the stuff. I did halve the recipe because I have a French press that only makes 1 servings worth (besides BF doesn't drink coffee), but it still turned out wonderfully. It was actually really easy with my French press- I made the coffee, pressed it, poured the coffee into the cup, rinsed the grounds out of the press and put in the spices. Then, when I was done steeping the spices, it was easy to just press them and I didn't have to stick my fingers in the coffee or anything, or try to pour off the coffee without having bits of cardamom or cloves sneaking through. The foam that formed on top was just gorgeous- definitely gives this that 'coffee house at home' feeling. I think that next time I would add more sugar- this stuff is pretty intense and I didn't add much (I don't usually like sugar in my coffee). I added about 1/2-1tsp sugar. Next time I make this I want to try a tip I read for making the perfect iced coffee in Vogue a while back- coffee ice cubes! Thanks for posting, Fay!

Sorry it took me so long to review! I made this several days ago, and it is absolutely FABULOUS Fay!! My fiance has asked me to make this every day since I made it, hahah!!! The flavors in this frappe are just amazing. I tried the coffee mix and spices after removing them from the refrigerator, and I was a little scared b/c it was very strong, spicy and overwhelming hehe.. but after adding the whipping cream, whipping it up, putting it over ice and sprinkling with cocoa.. OMG!!! I WAS IN HEAVEN!!! You really want to drink it so slowly as to not run out! hehe.. I will make this over and over and over and over and over again!!!! If I ever have my own bakery/coffee shop...This will definitely be on my menu Fay! I'll call it Spicy Frappe a'la Fay! lol ;) :D hehehe...
