Expert tips
Strawberry purée: blend a few fresh or thawed frozen strawberries with a touch of sugar or use strawberry syrup/sauce for extra convenience.
Make it dairy-free: use coconut cream for the cold foam and oat, soy, or almond milk for the frappe.
No electric frother? use a handheld whisk or jar with a tight lid to shake the cold foam until thick.
