How to Make the Starbucks Sakura Frappuccino

Every year in Japan, Starbucks releases a sakura Frappuccino for a short period of time, but if you can’t grab one from Japan then it’s time to make one for yourself! Let’s add a bit more of that signature cherry blossom flavour to this one.




Ingredients for one 200ml Sakura Frappuccino:

Sakura powder 7g

Hot water 2 tbsp

Strawberry/raspberry jam 1 tbsp

Milk 50ml

Frozen strawberries 3 (+1 cut up for decoration)

Vanilla ice cream 2 tbsp

Cream 60ml

Sugar 1 tsp

Vanilla few drops

Granola as needed




How to make this Sakura Frappuccino:

1. Add cream, sugar, and vanilla together and whip until you get soft peaks. Put this into the fridge for later. When ready to use, transfer to a piping bag. *You can substitute this for canned whipped cream, but I don’t think it looks or tastes quite as nice!

2. Slowly combine the sakura powder and hot water until you have a smooth paste.

3. Combine the paste with jam of choice.

4. Combine most of the paste with 50ml milk, leaving behind a bit of paste for decoration.

5. Blend milk and paste together.

6. Add frozen strawberries and ice cream, blend.

7. Create a layer of the leftover sakura paste on the bottom of your cup.

8. Layer on a few cut up strawberries, then the sakura frappuccino blend, then top with whipped cream and crushed granola to decorate.

9. Enjoy!
