Celebrate National Coffee Day with a Homemade Caramel Frappuccino

Coffee lovers, today is your day! That's right, September 29th is National Coffee Day, and I can't think of a better way to get your day started than a delicious coffee frappucino. The word frappé in French literally means "iced' and originated around the mid-19th century, but we now associate the word with a cold coffee drink like the frappuccino. The drink, which originated from Starbucks, is made with coffee, milk, ice, and various flavorings, creating a smooth and creamy coffee drink that’s perfect for any time of day. My favorite is caramel frappuccino, and with this quick and easy recipe you can make one at home anytime.
