Copycat Starbucks Green Tea Frappuccino

I have always been obsessed with matcha powder. Its dark and beautiful green hue and its fragrant aroma put me into a happy state.  Everyone also drinks  green tea because of its therapeutic and soothing powers.

Sometimes, nothing hits the spot quite like a coffee house drink piled high with fluffy whipped cream. Okay, I decided that today is another everything kind of Frappuccino, which is one of my favorite frozen drinks.  Green Tea Frappuccino.  A very interesting taste experience. It features the slight bitterness of green tea, complimented by the sweetness of milk and cream, blended with ice.  This drink is absolutely a cool treat for warm weather.

Same as when I’ve done my Java Chip Frappuccino, this Green Tea Frap recipe is a copycat, so it’s not the actual propriety recipe that is property of Starbucks. It’s only approximations (for the real thing, visit your local Starbucks).

This copycat recipe is easy, fits the bill, and can be made simply and in no time at all.  Forget paying $5 per drink, now you can make this delicious drink at home for a fraction of the cost.  I made this frappuccino, which tastes exactly like the Starbucks kind, for under $3 and in under 5 minutes.  That is less than the cost of a trip to Starbucks and it really isn’t time consuming.

If you blend milk, sugar, and some other ingredients of your own choosing and top with whipped cream, you can make your own original frappuccino.  The intoxicating sip caffeine and the sweet taste of sugar, all blended  together into a mixture of iced creamy goodness and designed to melt in your mouth.  Yep, there’s nothing quite like seductive taste of Starbucks Frappuccino on hot summer day. As for green tea frappuccino, make sure you use matcha powder, but if you don’t have matcha, you could also use regular green tea powder.

So, start your morning with a great homemade Green Tea Frappuccino!
