Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup strong coffee, cooled to room temperature (or 2 shots of espresso, cooled)
- 1/2 cup milk (or dairy free milk of your choice)
- 2 cups ice cubes
- 1/4 cup liquid honey (or agave, maple syrup, or other sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
For Garnish (Optional)
- Whipped cream
Instructions
- Prepare Ingredients: Brew strong coffee or prepare espresso and allow it to cool to room temperature to avoid melting the ice too quickly during blending.
- Blend the Frappuccino: In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, milk, ice cubes, liquid honey, and vanilla extract if using. Blend on medium speed until the mixture is creamy and smooth, ensuring all the ice is finely crushed.
- Serve: Pour the blended frappuccino into your favorite glass or travel tumbler. Optionally, top with whipped cream for added richness and serve immediately with a straw.
Notes
- You can substitute the milk with any dairy-free alternative such as almond, oat, or soy milk to accommodate dietary preferences.
- Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount of honey or sweetener used.
- For an extra coffee kick, add an additional shot of espresso.
- To make it vegan, use plant-based milk and a vegan-friendly sweetener and whipped cream.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the best texture and flavor; the frappuccino tends to melt and separate if left standing too long.
