Shamrock Frappuccino Recipe

Why not have a themed frappuccino for St. Patrick's Day. This recipe is a nice mix of peppermint, vanilla, and matcha green tea powder. It makes for a pretty tasty drink that is even green. StarbucksSecretMenu came up with this frappuccino and I've simply made it so you can craft it at home with your own ingredients.

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

Ingredients:

• 2c Ice
• 3/4c Milk / or / Half & Half
• 2 tbsp Vanilla Syrup
• 2 tbsp Peppermint Syrup
• 2 tbsp Simple Syrup (or sugar, but simple syrup blends in better)
• 1.5 - 2 tbsp Matcha Green Tea Powder
• Pinch of Xantham Gum (optional)

Topping Suggestions:

• Whipped Topping
• Green Tea Powder

Coffee Version:

Replace milk with Strong Coffee, but I don't know how coffee will taste with green tea.

Utensils:

• Blender
• Ice cube trays - small ice cubes make for even easier blending
• Measuring cups and spoons
• Cup for serving
• Straws

Blend everything together until smooth.

Top with whatever feels right. I stuck with whipped topping and some more matcha green tea powder.
