Blended frappés & milkshakes

Applies to: any blended iced coffee frappé or ice-cream milkshake.

1. Add liquids to the jar first — milk, then any sauce, syrup, or espresso — to protect the blades and blend evenly.
2. Liquid-first loading prevents a dry clump seizing at the bottom around the blade.
3. Add ice cream (for a milkshake) or ice (for a frappé), weighed or scoop-portioned per recipe.
4. Blend on the recipe's cycle length until velvet-smooth, with no ice shards and a spoon-resistant body.
5. Pour to just below the rim and finish with whipped cream, drizzle, or crumb per recipe, edge to edge.
