5) What is the main ingredient in a Frappuccino?
Starbucks trademarked Frappuccino as a sort of blended coffee drink. The beverage's flavor and texture are somewhere between a milkshake and an iced coffee, and it's made using ice, coffee, and flavored syrups.
6) How do you make a frappe thicker?
The key to achieving that thick, pleasing consistency is xanthan gum, a common food additive. When I made a Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Coffee Drink without xanthan gum, it turned out too frosty. The coffee rapidly separated from the ice as well. Most grocery stores sell both golden syrup and xanthan gum in the baking area.
7) What milk is in a caramel frappuccino?
Unless otherwise specified, all frappuccinos at Starbucks are made with full milk. If you prefer dairy-free alternatives, soy, and almond milk would suffice.

Yes, all coffee-based Frappuccinos include caffeine, as do certain crème-based Frappuccinos. The caffeine level of a Frappuccino will vary depending on the flavor and size of the drink. Some non-coffee-based Frappuccinos contain caffeine, but not from coffee.
9) Does caramel frappuccino have a lot of caffeine?
The caffeine content of a Caramel Frappuccino is higher than that of a Coffee Frappuccino. (Both drinks still have less caffeine than a traditional cup of coffee, though. No Frappuccinos contain more caffeine than a cup of coffee.)
10) What caramel sauce does Starbucks use?
If you want to improve the flavor of your coffee, try adding a pump or extra caramel sauce or syrup to your Starbucks cups. Remember that Starbucks does not use Torani or Monin brands of caramel. Fontana makes its delectable and rich caramel syrups and sauces instead.
