Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1/2 cup whole milk
  • 3 tbsp coffee-flavored syrup
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1/4 tsp xanthan gum

Method
 

  1. Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes until fully cold.
  2. Add the cooled coffee, ice, whole milk, coffee-flavored syrup, granulated sugar, and xanthan gum to a blender and blend on high for 45 to 60 seconds until smooth with no ice chunks remaining.
  3. Pour into a tall glass and top with whipped cream and a drizzle of coffee syrup.

Notes

The xanthan gum is what makes the texture work, so do not skip it if you want that Frappuccino thickness. If your syrup brand is on the sweeter side, start with just 1 tbsp of granulated sugar and taste before adding more. This recipe makes one large serving; double everything for two drinks and blend in two batches for the smoothest result.
