Take a look at the latest Frappuccino customization hack!
It appears Starbucks Japan has been working to enhance its line of tea products, having introduced some new tea-based items recently. One beverage, however, that they haven’t gotten around to offering as a product, although it may sound like something you would expect them to have on their menu, is a “chai” Frappuccino. Well, what if we told you there was an easy way to customize and create your own chai-flavored Frappuccino?
Apparently, all you need to do is order a Vanilla Cream Frappuccino but change the vanilla syrup to chai syrup, or you can just add extra chai syrup for 50 yen (US$0.45), and you get a delightful original drink that’s sure to satisfy any chai lover. Of course, we had to try this ourselves!
