# Expert Suggestions:

  • Way cheaper than coffeehouse versions and you control exactly what goes in
  • The real vanilla bean creates those gorgeous little specks that make everything feel fancy
  • Ready in five minutes flat when that afternoon sweet tooth hits hard
02 -
  • The frappuccino melts faster than you think so serve immediately after blending
  • Over blending makes ice disappear too fast and you end up with vanilla soup
  • Fresh vanilla beans keep forever in a sealed jar so stock up when you find them on sale
03 -
  • Steep vanilla bean in warm milk for 30 minutes first if you want intense vanilla flavor
  • Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of some ice for an ultra creamy version
