- Real vanilla bean specks floating through every sip make it feel like an absolute treat
02 -
- The frappuccino melts faster than you expect, so have glasses ready before you start blending
- Over-blending can make it thin and watery, so stop as soon as it looks smooth and uniform

- If your blender struggles with ice, crush the cubes slightly in a bag first or use smaller ice from silicone trays
