Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino

Easily make a Pumpkin Spice flavored Frappuccino at home! No need to wait for the season to come around at Starbucks. This frappe does not have pumpkin in it; if you want real pumpkin in your drink, try out this recipe I made a few years ago.

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

Ingredients:

• 2c Ice
• 1/2c Whole Milk
• 1/4c Coffee
• 3 or 4 Tbsp Pumpkin Spice Syrup
• 3 Tbsp Simple syrup
• Pumpkin Pie Spice - for sprinkling on top, it adds a nice aroma when you take a sip - you can also make your own pumpkin pie spice or just use cinnamon
• Pinch of Xantham Gum (optional)
• Whipped topping

Optionally, you can add 1/2 - 1Tbsp of Cinnamon Syrup. Just for a little something different. This syrup is very strong, don't use more than 1Tbsp.

Utensils:

• Blender
• Ice cube trays
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cups for serving
• Reusable Straws or Orange Striped Paper Straws

Throw all of your ingredients in the blender and blend until the ice is completely crushed.

If you use more coffee, go with a little more of the syrup. If you use less coffee, stick with 3 tablespoons. It seems like this flavoring is kind of subtle so the coffee can overpower it.

Assemble it any way you want, but I went simply with whipped topping and a dusting of pumpkin pie spice.
