What Ingredients Will You Need To Make Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino?

• Ice – To make a Starbucks caramel Frappuccino recipe, we would need 1 cup of ice. You can customize the ice cubes according to your liking; if you like plain ice, go for that. But if you love the kick of strong coffee in your drink, make your regular cup of light black coffee into ice cubes.
• Strong-Brewed Coffee – Coffee is the base of the recipe, so we need 1 cup of strong-brewed coffee.
• Milk – Milk is the ingredient responsible for bringing the creamy, frothy taste to this recipe. For this, we need ¾ cup of full cream milk. If you are allergic to milk, you can use milk alternatives like almond milk.
• Caramel Sauce – Caramel sauce is the most important ingredient for making this recipe. To make this drink we need ¼ cup of caramel sauce. You can use either sweetened or unsweetened caramel sauce to make this recipe. 
• Sugar – if you love a little bit of sweetness in your drink, take 2 tablespoons of sugar.
• Xanthan Gum – This is Starbucks’ star ingredient. It acts as a binding age and makes your drink more creamy and frothy. This is not something we all have at home. However, if you can grab 1 teaspoon of xanthan gum, if you don’t have it, skip it.
• Vanilla Extract – A little bit of vanilla makes our drink tastier, and for this purpose, we need one teaspoon of vanilla extract.
• Whipped Cream – Whipped cream is used to top the Frappuccino.
