How To Make Horchata Frappuccino?

1. Make the Cinnamon Dolce Syrup: In a small saucepan, mix brown sugar and cinnamon. Add water and bring to a boil. Lower heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thick. Remove from heat and let it cool. Store in an airtight container.
2. Blend the Frappuccino: Add almond milk, vanilla ice cream (or ice), and cinnamon dolce syrup to a blender. Blend until smooth.
3. Serve and Garnish: Pour into a glass, top with whipped cream, and sprinkle cinnamon on top. Enjoy!

Recipe Tips:

• Use Freshly Made Syrup: The homemade cinnamon dolce syrup gives the best flavor. Let it cool completely before using it so it doesn’t melt the ice.
• Blend Until Super Smooth: To get that creamy Starbucks texture, blend for at least 30–40 seconds until there are no ice chunks left.
• Adjust the Sweetness: If you like it sweeter, add an extra 1 tablespoon of cinnamon dolce syrup. If it’s too sweet, use less syrup or add more almond milk.
• Use Cold Almond Milk: Make sure your almond milk is cold before blending. This helps keep the frappuccino thick and icy.
• Serve Immediately: This drink melts fast! Pour it into a chilled glass and enjoy it right away for the best taste and texture.

How To Store Leftovers?

Keep it in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 hours. Stir well before drinking.
