If you are able to, make the coffee in advance so it has time to cool off. If you want to make it taste as close to a Starbucks frappuccino as possible, use Starbucks capsules/pods (I use the Blonde roast capsules). If you have a coffee machine that makes espresso, use two espresso shots (should be 30ml each). Alternatively, make up 60ml of any strong coffee. If you are adding sugar instead of syrup, add it in when hot and stir well.
Add your ice to the blender pot followed by the milk, coffee and syrup (if using). Blend on the highest setting (or the ice crush setting) for about 1 minute or until smooth.
MOCHA FRAPPUCCINO
Follow the above instructions for Coffee Frappuccino, but mix the cocoa powder with a little of the coffee to make a paste. Then you can mix in the rest of the coffee. If using granulated sugar, dissolve that in the hot coffee first.
CHOCOLATE FRAPPUCCINO
Add just a little of the milk to the Nesquik and stir into a smooth paste. Then stir it into the rest of the milk. Add the ice to your blender pot and pour in the chocolate milk. Blend on the highest setting (or the ice crush setting) for about 1 minute or until smooth. This recipe makes one large frappuccino, which can by split into two smaller ones for younger kids to share.
TO FINISH
Pour or spoon out the frappuccino carefully into your glass or reusable cold cup. Serve immediately, as is or topped with spray cream. For Mocha and Chocolate Frappuccino’s, drizzle over chocolate sauce if you like.
