MAKING A FRAPPE AT HOME
With just a few ingredients, you can make a frappé so frosty it will defy summer - the only equipment you'll need is a blender, or an ice crusher if you're more sophisticated!
Add ice cubes to the blender. Brew your favorite Starbucks® coffee and pour it over the ice. Next, add about 1 cup of your favorite milk or plant-based dairy alternative, and once the lid is tightly closed, blend it all together.
This is just the beginning.
There's so much more you can do with this basic recipe! Add some flavored syrup, vanilla extract or chocolate sauce before blending for a delicious and flavorful frappé. Need more ideas? Check out our Preparation Methods page, where you'll find even more inspiration.
