HOW TO: Make Your Own Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino at Home!

 I love coffee and so naturally, I'm a fan of Starbucks. 

However, it can get costly going every single day and wouldn't it be nice once in a while to be able to make your own drinks at home? 

Well, recently I figured out to make a caramel frappuccino (with coffee) which tastes pretty much the same as the Starbucks original! In this post, I thought I'd show you how you too can make your own at home as well. If you're prefer this drink without coffee, you can make the caramel cream version - which you do simply by replacing the coffee with 2 cups of the vanilla ice cream.

Ingredients:

250-300ml of Milk
2 Cups of ice
3 Tablespoons of Caramel Syrup
3 Tablespoons of Caramel Drizzle Sauces
1 Teaspoon of Sugar
Whipped Cream
200ml of Cooled, strong coffee

Instructions:

• Prepare your coffee - make sure it's strong and then leave it to cool.
• Grab your ice, caramel syrup, caramel sauce, sugar, milk and your cooled coffee and blend it all together until you have either a liquid, or a thick-slushie like consistency - this is up to your drinking preference!
• Once you have blended this mixture all together, simply pour into a glass (this recipe should fill two, large glasses). 
• Then, add whipped cream on top and drizzle it with caramel sauce.
• ENJOY!

D.I.Y Mocha Frappuccino!

Hey guys! This is post is a little bit different to my usuals, but I want to start incorporating some of those into my blog now and then.

Anyway, in this post I am going to show you how to make a mocha frappuccino at home. I personally am a coffee lover but this is still a really tasty drink for those that aren't fond of coffee as primarily the taste of this drink is all about the chocolate (mocha) element. It's also a chilled drink which is probably strange because it's fairly cold over here in the UK but I pretty much drink this rain or shine!

So, you will need:

• Chocolate Syrup
• Ice
• Coffee
• Sugar
• Milk
• A blender or smoothie maker that can handle ice
• A glass and straw

First, put two cups off ice into your blender of smoothie maker. Then, make some double strength coffee - you can do this by adding two tea spoons of coffee granules to your water instead of one! You will need about 3/4 of a mug of coffee for this. Add your coffee (which you need to leave to cool) to your ice in your blender. Now add one cup of milk.

Next, add 3-4 tablespoon of sugar to your mix and the chocolate syrup to your taste - I added about 3 big squirts. Finally, blend everything together until the ice is completely crushed - your frappucino will serve 2-3 people. Enjoy!
