- 2 cups strong coffee, chilled
- 2 cups whole milk
- 4 cups ice
Sweeteners:
- 1/3 cup caramel syrup
- 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
Topping:
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and prepare a blender for a chilled, creamy coffee beverage.
- Combine cold coffee, milk, ice cubes, caramel syrup, and sugar into the blender container.
- Pulse the mixture at high speed for 30-45 seconds until the texture becomes smooth and frothy, with no large ice chunks remaining.
- Select tall glasses for serving and carefully transfer the blended mixture, ensuring an even distribution.

Notes
- Chill your coffee beforehand for a more intense, refreshing flavor that enhances the overall drink quality.
- Use frozen coffee cubes instead of regular ice to prevent dilution and maintain a rich, strong coffee taste.
- Adjust sweetness by experimenting with different types of sugar like brown sugar or coconut sugar for unique depth of flavor.
- For a dairy-free version, swap milk with almond, oat, or coconut milk to create a lighter, dietary-friendly frappuccino that everyone can enjoy.
