Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, coconut)
  • 2 tablespoons molasses or maple syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional, for topping)

Instructions

  1. Brew Your Coffee: Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool slightly. For best results, use freshly brewed espresso or dark roast coffee to create a robust base for your frappe.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a blender, add the cooled coffee, milk or milk alternative, molasses or maple syrup, ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and ice cubes. This combination blends warm spices with the icy texture needed for the frappe.
  3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend on high for 30 to 45 seconds until the mixture is creamy and frothy. Avoid overblending to maintain the perfect frappe consistency.
  4. Serve and Garnish: Pour the frappe into a tall glass. Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of molasses for a festive finishing touch.

Notes

  • Use chilled coffee to prevent watering down your frappe with excess ice.
  • Start with small amounts of spices and adjust to your taste preferences.
  • Do not skimp on ice cubes — they provide both chill and texture.
  • Adjust sweetness gradually to reach your preferred level.
  • Blend in short bursts or pulse to maintain the ideal frappe texture.
