3. Step 3: Pour the mixture into a glass.

Tips & Variations

• Use chilled espresso to keep the frappé cold longer without diluting the flavor.
• For a richer taste, substitute half the milk with cream or use sweetened condensed milk.
• Add a pinch of sea salt to the caramel sauce for a salted caramel twist.
• Try using flavored syrups like hazelnut or cinnamon to customize your frappé.

Storage

This frappé is best enjoyed fresh. If you need to store it, keep it covered in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Stir well before drinking, but note that the ice will melt, so it may be less creamy and more diluted. It’s not recommended to freeze or reheat.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use instant coffee instead of espresso?

Yes, you can substitute strong brewed instant coffee, but espresso will provide a richer and more authentic flavor.

What is the best milk to use?

You can use any milk you prefer, including plant-based alternatives like almond, oat, or soy milk. Choose unsweetened versions if you want to control the sweetness.
