Tips for the Best Frappuccino
- Coffee Ice Cubes: For a stronger coffee flavor, freeze some brewed coffee in an ice cube tray and use the coffee ice cubes in place of regular ice.
- Caramel Sauce: Use a high-quality caramel sauce for the best flavor. You can also make your own caramel sauce at home.
- Milk Options: Feel free to use your preferred type of milk, such as almond milk, soy milk, or oat milk, to suit your dietary needs or taste preferences.
- Blender: A high-powered blender works best to achieve a smooth, creamy texture. If your blender isn’t very powerful, you may need to blend for a bit longer or add a little more liquid.
