Here is how I make my Ice Java drink: I have one one of those small bullett type blenders I got from Walgreens for $14.99. It'S 16oz. I fill it 10oz crushed Ice, Squeeze in about 5 heaping tablespoons syrup, fill to almost top with milk and blend the dickens out of it. I use 1%, 2% and even total real milk, it doesnt matter. My problem is that I can only find the Chocolate Mocha flavor and not the Coffee flavor which I prefer. Hope this helps.
