Peppermint Mocha Frappe
A simple homemade frappe
Equipment
- 1 blender (I use the single serve cup with my Ninja)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cup ice
- ¾ cup milk (I use almond milk)
- 1 ½ tsp instant coffee (I use 1 packet of Starbucks VIA Instant Italian Roast)
- 3 tbsp simple syrup
- 3 tbsp chocolate syrup
- ¼ tsp xanthan gum
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract
- peppermint syrup (optional, to taste)
- whipped cream (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Add ingredients to blender. If using a single serve cup blender, add the ice first; otherwise add the ice last.1 ½ cup ice, ¾ cup milk, 1 ½ tsp instant coffee, 3 tbsp simple syrup, 3 tbsp chocolate syrup, ¼ tsp xanthan gum, ¼ tsp vanilla extract, peppermint syrup
- Blend together for 30 seconds, or until well-blended. 30 seconds is perfect for my single cup blender.
- Pour into a cup, top with whipped cream if you like, maybe a quick chocolate drizzle to make it fancy. Pop in a straw, and enjoy!whipped cream

This recipe is based on the Starbucks copycat recipe over at Coffee At Three.
