Notes
You need a blender able to crush ice for this recipe to work.
For a creamier, smoother Frappuccino:
- Use xanthan gum;
- Use milk ice cubes rather than water ice cubes.
- Make sure you’re using 100% matcha powder, and not one with added sugar ando/or milk;
- A premium grade will give this drinks a less bitter taste.
