Craft Honey Frappuccino
Craving a sweet and refreshing pick-me-up? Meet the Craft Honey Frappuccino, a delightful fusion of artisanal coffee and nature's golden nectar. This recipe was born from a barista's experiment to create the perfect balance between robust coffee flavors and the subtle sweetness of locally-sourced honey.
We start with a base of freshly brewed, medium-roast coffee, ground to a medium-fine consistency and prepared using a French press for maximum flavor extraction. The coffee is then blended with creamy milk, velvety honey, and ice to create a smooth, frosty treat. A touch of vanilla extract adds depth, while a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of honey on top provide the perfect finishing touches.
