Good recipe for a caramel cream frappuccino?

I will give max points. Does anyone know what the cream base is made of and how to get it thick and creamy? Also if you have the Green tea Frappuccino recipe I would be super happy!

Caramel Frappuccino

1/2 cup chilled espresso or double-strength coffee (brew with 3-4 tbsp. coffee for every 6 oz water to achieve espresso-like strength)

1 1/4 cup small ice cubes

1/3 cup caramel syrup-or more to taste (see recipe below)

Whipped cream and caramel sundae syrup, optional

Brew coffee then stir in caramel syrup until dissolved. Cover and cool to room temperature. Chill in the refrigerator. Combine ice and chilled coffee mixture in a blender until the frappe is smooth. Pour into two tall, clear 12 oz glasses. Garnish with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sundae syrup if desired. Serve with straws.

Caramel Syrup

1 cup light brown sugar, packed

1 cup water

1/4 cup evaporated milk

1 tsp. vanilla extract

Bring water, sugar, and milk to a boil. Simmer for 6 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat, add vanilla extract, and cool. Store in the refrigerator in a covered container until ready to use. The syrup will keep for two weeks.

Green tea Frappuccino

Serves 2-3

Ingredients:

2 cups of Skim Milk

2 tsp. Sugar (or more if you like sweet)

2 tbs. Green Tea Powder (you can use 1/2 tsp. for less bitter taste.)

1/4 cup Heavy Whipped Cream

2 Tbs. Pure Vanilla Ice Cream

1 cup of Ice-Cubes

Whipped Cream topping

Garnish with sprinkle of green tea powder

Directions:

Dissolve the green tea powder in the milk, by adding milk in a pot, placing it on the stove(med. high) and warm it up, don't let it boil. Add sugar and stir; get rid of the unwanted lumps. Once it's lump free and completely dissolved take it off the stove, cover with the lid and let it cool down.

In a blender put 1/4 cup of Heavy Whipped Cream; whip for 30 seconds. Add 2 Tbs. Vanilla Ice cream and blend few more seconds. If the milk with green tea powder is completely cooled down, pour it in the blender. Add Ice Cubes, and Blend for next minute.

Pour it in the airtight container and place in the freezer. It will need at least one hour and half of freezing time.

Take it out of the freezer and put it back in a clean blender. Blend for next minute and pour into the glass. Add Whipped Cream Topping and sprinkle with dash of green tea powder. Stir it and drink it up!!! This is Creamy Version, look into notes for easier and faster one, or less guilty version.

Notes:

Green tea from the bag/filter or dry green tea leaf will not work for this frappuccino

Green tea is bitter, and also depends what kind you buy. The best one is 100% natural.

I used brand imported from Taiwan, but I recommend to get Organic Japanese Matcha (抹茶/also known as maccha-fine powder tea)- which is more expensive however by far better quality.

If you are not used to green tea powder or just want to experiment get yourself smaller pack.

You can use soy or almond milk instead of the regular milk and make it vegan.

For Easier less guilty Frapp you can put ice-cubes in the blender along with chilled green tea powder mixture ( mixture: dissolve green tea powder in warm water or skim milk + organic agave nectar to taste, then chill for 10 min) and blend for few seconds until all combined. Only Add Whipped Cream on top or Vanilla Ice-cream if desired!

Starbucks makes use of Torani kind flavored syrups that are obtainable on your food market. merely make a sturdy cup of espresso, unload it into your blender with some ice, some cream, and a splash of caramel flavored syrup. combination till gentle. you may alter the flavor slightly by including greater/much less cream, or some sugar. you additionally can replace the cream with 2% milk, and then upload some powdered milk. The powdered milk will help to slightly thicken the drink yet without the fat you get from the cream. in case you needed a mochachino, replace the caramel syrup with Hershy's chocolate syrup. heavily, there isn't any reason to spend $3-4 a drink on those issues.
