Frappuccino Recipe

Frappuccino is a drink that was introduced by the famous coffeehouse company 'Starbucks' in 1995. This is a cold drink that is made by mixing coffee, a diary base, sugar and ice. From the time of its inception, frappuccino gained a lot of popularity and since then, has been the top favorite drink for many people. However, the frappuccino available at Starbucks Coffeehouse is a little expensive and having it whenever one feels the urge to get hold of a cup of this delicious cold coffee can burn a hole in the pocket. Hence, a great alternative would be to make the frappuccino at home itself.

Though people think that it is almost impossible to create a frappuccino akin to what is made at Starbucks, it is not true. Moreover, one can control the ingredients that one puts in it like the type of milk used, the amount of sugar, etc. while making it at home. Hence, people who are really interested in making homemade frappuccino can take a look at some of the frappuccino recipes.
