DIY Frappuccino ingredients:
- Cold water: Start with cold water to keep everything icy and smooth.
- Cream or milk: Heavy cream will give you the richest flavor, but any type of milk or cream will work.
- Sugar or coffee syrup: Regular sugar, flavored syrups, or even a sugar substitute all work.
- Instant coffee granules or espresso powder: Gives you that deep coffee flavor without needing a full pot of brewed coffee. Choose a high-quality brand for the best flavor!
- Ice cubes: The key to achieving that frosty, Frappuccino-like texture.
- Whipped cream: This is totally optional, but I think it adds that cafe-style finish!

- Espresso shots: If you like extra coffee flavor, you can add some espresso shots on top to make an espresso Frappuccino! Keep in mind that the consistency may be thinner.
- Coffee ice cubes: Brew some strong coffee and pour it into ice cube trays. Let the coffee ice cubes freeze completely, then use them in place of regular ice cubes in your drink for extra coffee flavor!
