- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
- ½ cup milk (any kind)
- 3 tablespoons caramel sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar (optional)

Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender, pour the ice, cooled brewed coffee, milk, caramel sauce, and granulated sugar if using. This combination forms the base of your frappe.
- Blend Mixture: Blend all ingredients on high speed until the mixture is smooth and frothy. The ice should be well crushed to give the frappe its signature texture.

- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond, oat, or soy milk and use a dairy-free whipped topping.
- Adjust the amount of caramel sauce and sugar based on your preferred sweetness level.
