Thick, frosty, whipped, and cold, a frappe is the drink that makes a Karachi afternoon survivable. The good news: you can make one at home in about a minute, for a fraction of the café price.

One honest note first — a proper frappe needs a blender. That frozen, whipped texture is the whole point, and blending is what creates it. Got one? You're ninety seconds away.

The recipe

  • 1 Ten15 Vanilla or Caramel Frappe sachet
  • 75 ml cold milk
  • 110 g ice

Method:

  1. Add the sachet, 75 ml cold milk, and 110 g ice to a blender.
  2. Blend to a thick, creamy, frosty finish.
  3. Pour into a tall glass and enjoy.

That's the café ratio — a little milk, a lot of ice — which is exactly what gives a frappe its signature frozen texture.

Vanilla or caramel?

  • Vanilla Frappe — smooth and mellow, like a cold vanilla milkshake with a coffee backbone.
  • Caramel Frappe — richer and sweeter. Dessert in a glass.

Turn it into a coffee milkshake

Want dessert instead of a drink? A frappe becomes a coffee milkshake with one addition. Add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to the blender along with the sachet, milk, and ice, then blend to thick and frosty. Same method, extra indulgence — a proper coffee milkshake in 60 seconds. Finish with a caramel drizzle if you're feeling it.

Make it your way

  • Extra bold — a little Ten15 freeze-dried Espresso in the blender.
  • Caramel drizzle — line the glass before pouring. Café presentation, zero effort.
  • Thicker — more ice; creamier — a splash more milk.

No blender? Here's the honest answer

You can't get true frappe texture without one — stirring won't whip it frosty. But you're not stuck: make an iced latte instead. Our Latte sachets need only water and ice, no blender at all — just as cold and creamy, simply smooth rather than frosty.

Frequently asked questions

Do you need a blender to make a frappe? Yes. The frosty, whipped texture comes from blending. Without one, make an iced latte instead — it needs only water and ice.

What's the frappe ratio? One Ten15 sachet to 75 ml cold milk and 110 g ice. Less milk and more ice is what keeps it thick.

How do I make a coffee milkshake from it? Add 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream to the blender with the sachet, milk, and ice, then blend. That's a coffee milkshake.

Which frappe is best, vanilla or caramel? Vanilla is smoother and lighter; caramel is sweeter and more dessert-like. Both blend up beautifully.
