The Java Chip Frappuccino is a creamy, indulgent coffee beverage blending iced coffee, chocolate chips, and milk into a sweet, refreshing treat. Perfect for coffee lovers and chocolate fanatics, this homemade version is just as delicious as the Starbucks classic.

- 1/2 cup brewed coffee (cooled) or 1 shot of espresso
- 1/2 cup milk (whole, almond, oat, or your choice of milk)

- 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
- 1 tablespoon sugar or sweetener (optional, adjust to taste)

- Garnish with extra chocolate chips or sprinkles, and serve immediately with a straw.
