Frappuccino is a type of iced coffee trademarked by Starbucks. The word “frappuccino” comes from the combination of the word “frappé” and “cappuccino”. Its basic ingredients are espresso, ice, and milk. Then, whipped cream, different syrups, or sweeteners can be added to it depending on personal preference.
You can buy different variations of frappuccino at Starbucks or bottled ones from grocery stores, vending machines, etc. You can also find frappuccino in other cafés or stores but, of course, under a different name since Starbucks has trademarked the name frappuccino. Now we will learn how to make frappuccino at home with the recipe below. Making it at home will allow you to create your own version of it.
