Candy Cane Frappuccino Recipe

The Candy Cane Frappuccino is not an official Starbucks flavor, but it is one you can find on the Starbucks Secret Recipe website. This tasty non-caffeinated beverage is great for the candy cane, or just peppermint, lovers out there. It's also super easy to make.

This recipe is a single serving and makes about the 16oz Grande size from Starbucks.

Ingredients:

• 2c ice
• 3/4c milk - or Half & Half or whipping cream
• 2 pumps/tbsp Peppermint Syrup
• 3 pumps/tbsp Vanilla Syrup
• 1tbsp Simple syrup
• Pinch of Xantham Gum (optional)

Caffeinated Version:

Replace 1/4 cup of the milk with Strong coffee.

Topping Suggestions:

• Whipped Topping
• Mashed up candy cane or peppermint candies

Utensils:

• Blender - I use a Magic Bullet at home, it's great for making individual drinks
• Ice cube trays - small ice cubes make for even easier blending
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cups for serving
• Reusable Straws

Blend it and top it with whatever you want. I mashed up a peppermint candy in a plastic bag and sprinkled that on the whipped topping.

You know the drill. Enjoy the fruits of your labor.
