Vanilla Bean Frozen Drink - Like Starbucks image

Lighter and more refreshing than a vanilla milk shake, this is similar to Starbuck's non-coffee Vanilla Bean frozen drink. Time includes making and cooling the vanilla syrup. You could use commercially-prepared vanilla syrup, instead.

The vanilla flavor was a bit too strong for me, but overall I thought this drink was pretty good.

This recipe was a bit too sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. I think I would use less sugar next time.

I made this drink for my friends and they all loved it! It was the perfect way to cool down on a hot summer day. The vanilla flavor was subtle but still very noticeable.
