Caffeine: the first thing all adults need to kick start the morning. To put things into perspective, itโs like the makeup most girls live by.
In my younger days, I rarely visited Starbucks because it was obviously a luxury product, even much so for a kid like me who orders chocolate-based drinks.

But when I do visit, Iโd always request for a Tall-sized drink simply because the letter โeโ at the end of Grande scared me. Tried it once and received giggles from the cashier. Not cool, sis.
But things took a turn when I knew of Ariana Grande because other than teaching me about love, patience and pain, she taught me how to pronounce her last name. And for that I sayโฆ Thank you, Ari.
Soโฆhow in the world can Starbucks, a fancy coffee establishment with a global presence be associated with sweet treats from Asia?
Itโs actually possible with a little magic so read on if youโre feeling extra boujee and Asian today.
A Starbucks Barista, Christy Lee, from Toronto shared the secret recipes for drinks like White Rabbit Candy Frappe and Thai Milk Tea.
Because sharing is caring, right?
And viral it went.

White Rabbit Candy
Does this ring a bell?
For a longer trip down memory lane, check out our previous write-up here.
The childhood favourite, White Rabbit candy (ๅคง็ฝๅ ๅฅถ็ณ) that can unite a nation originated from China in 1943.
To help you understand the extent of its popularity, the white rabbit candy has had variations in ice cream and lip balm launched in Los Angeles and Shanghai respectively.
And donโt get me started on the adorable bolster dressed like the sweet, available on Taobao.

Anywho, hereโs the moment of truth.
According to Christy on her Instagram, the White Rabbit Candy Frappe is achieved with two simple ingredients from Starbucks:
- Syrup Creme Frap
- Brown Brown Butter Shortbread Sauce (2 pumps for Tall / Grande, and 3 pumps for Venti)
(Eh whereโs the White Rabbit candy?!)
Another Unique Starbucks Drink: Thai Milk Tea
Over the years, Singapore has been hit by the Cha Yen craze with stores selling everything related to the drink: ice cream, cake and bingsu.
