    Wow what a nice recipe I usually try to follow a recipe through the first time around to give it a fair shot. I usually make a different Frappuccino recipe using instant coffee this time I brewed my own I brewed a bit more than the recipe called for. I’m glad I did I adjusted my preference I did add a bit of vanilla too. It’s a great recipe makes a lot for refills.

    This is sooo good! Thank you💙 So much better than spending $3 for a bottle. And I always have to get two. One for my oldest daughter and one for myself. I substituted hazelnut for the vanilla and even she loved it.💙💙

    I make my own with splenda. Using Starbucks, yoohoo, our any glass bottle. I pour 4oz cold coffee, 6-7oz room temp water, 2 packets of splenda, and 2oz of French vanilla cold creamer. Shake it vigorously and refrigerate over night and it's ready the morning. I usually make 10 to 12 bottles at a time. I actually like mine better than Starbucks. To make it right now. I crush about half cup of ice and add previous ingredients to my ninja mixer.
    Mix and enjoy.

    Is the Vanilla Creamer liquid or powered?

    I seriously can't remember how much rum to add for the spiked version. Plus, it was two kinds of rum, it was a clear rum, and a dark rum. Please send me the details. (of course starting with the ten cup measurement of coffee, and all the other ingredients).

    Very good and easy recipe!
    When I was about to try it out, I also added some chocolate sauce and it tasted absolutely amazing!
    Of course, there are many more (same) recipes out there on the internet but this was the best one I could find 🙂
    Here's a little tip for John: Make your own ice coffee like you described, pour it into the Starbucks bottle and tell John you 'already bought' his coffee. Indeed, Starbucks is expensive as hell..

    i love this recipe. The only difference I did was I added the sugar and brown sugar in the coffee while is was still hot and added some ice cubes. Then I added a little bit of Hersey's chocolate syrup. Really good recipe love it!

    I make my own Starbucks copycat also; I make my 4-c coffee, I use sweet and low and I use the International vanilla creamer. So pretty much the same as yours minus the brown sugar, but Hey, who doesn't love brown sugar?
