You can customize the sweetness and make it exactly how your family likes it best
The vanilla bean creates those beautiful little flecks that make it look professionally made

Blending on high speed is crucial for that smooth frappuccino texture instead of a chunky icy drink
Drink immediately after pouring because the texture changes as it sits and the ice melts
Vanilla beans can be expensive so reserve the pod after scraping and bury it in a jar of sugar for vanilla sugar

Pre-measure everything into the blender jar and store it in the fridge until you are ready to blend
The drink melts faster than you expect so have your glasses ready before you start
Leftover whipped cream freezes beautifully in a piping bag for future frappuccinos
