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.

Step 1: Supplies

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

Step 2: Blend and Top

Blend everything together until smooth.

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

Step 3: Enjoy
