Refreshing Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino

Several weeks ago after enjoying a peppermint mocha frappuccino at Starbucks, I decided it was time to figure out how to make my own at home.

I’m not able to get out to coffee shops very often and I loved the idea of being able to enjoy a peppermint mocha frappe any time that I wanted to! Learn more

And being able to do that for a mere fraction of what I typically spend at Starbucks, was just added incentive!.

Refreshing Peppermint Mocha Frappuccino

Several weeks ago after enjoying a peppermint mocha frappuccino at Starbucks, I decided it was time to figure out how to make my own at home.

And being able to do that for a mere fraction of what I typically spend at Starbucks, was just added incentive!.

USE COFFEE ICE CUBES

Using regular ice cubes as most frappe recipes do, results in a rather watered-down beverage.

USE COCOA POWDER

Cocoa powder gives this frappuccino the perfect, rich depth of chocolaty flavor that totally hits the spot!

USE PEPPERMINT EXTRACT

A lot of homemade peppermint mocha frappuccino recipes use peppermint syrup. But I prefer to stick with ingredients that have multiple uses.
