Caramel Frappuccino Ingredients

- Milk: Add the milk of your choice to this frappe. For a vegan option, use any plant-based milk of your choice. Some great options include almond milk, oat milk and coconut milk.
- Ice: Use ice cubes or crushed ice.
- Sweetener: Feel free to add any sweetener that you have to hand. I used sugar but you can also use syrup, agave and more.
- Whipped cream: Use shop-bought whipped cream or make some from scratch. Add ½ a cup of double cream to a bowl to make whipped cream. Then, add 1-2 tsp of sugar and whisk until stiff peaks begin to form.
