Recipe FAQs

What’s In A Caramel Frappuccino At Starbucks?

The Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino consists of a blend of espresso, caramel syrup, milk, and ice. A swirl of whipped cream is added to the top of the drink with a drizzle of caramel sauce for added decadence. Feel free to use espresso in yours to make it just like the original!

Does A Caramel Frappuccino Have Coffee In It?

Yes! Coffee is a key ingredient in a caramel frappuccino and helps to balance the sweetness and creaminess of the rest of the ingredients.

Is Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino Healthy?

Despite being loaded with blended ice, Starbucks caramel frappuccino still contains a lot of sugar and fat content from the rest of the ingredients used. To reduce the sugar and fat content, ask the barista to use fat-free milk, leave off the whipped cream, and skip the caramel drizzle. Like any treat, enjoy your caramel frappuccinos in moderation.

Is Caramel Frappe And Caramel Frappuccino The Same Thing?

Both these drinks are cold blended coffee beverages that include caramel flavoring (from caramel sauce or syrup), milk, and ice, and topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce.

The difference between these two drinks has more to do with the fact that they are proprietary products made by different companies and less about the ingredients used. The Caramel Frappe is made and sold by Mcdonald’s, while the Caramel Frappuccino is made and sold by Starbucks.

How do I order at Starbucks?

This one is super easy to order since it’s a staple on their everyday menu. Just ask the barista for a “caramel frappuccino” and pick your size. You can adjust the milk and if you’d like to use sugar-free syrups when ordering.

Starbucks Cookie Crumble Frappuccino

Kelley — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 14:08:28 +0000

This copycat Cookie Crumble Frappuccino takes inspiration from Starbucks cookie crumble frappuccino and adds even more decadence to each serving by including chocolate syrup, chocolate chips, and crushed chocolate sandwich cookies! Let me show how to make this Starbucks copycat cookie crumble frappuccino today!

My kids love when I go on a Starbucks run because they seem to always talk me into getting a drink too. They have two favorite drinks – the caramel ribbon crunch frappuccnio and this mocha cookie crumble frappuccino.

We love this cookie crumble frapp because each sip is creamy and sweet with an irresistible crunchy cookie crumb texture. It is topped with whipped cream, extra chocolate chips, and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Enjoy this cookie crumble frappuccino as dessert or for a quick pick me up in the afternoon.

What is Cookie Crumble Frappuccino?

Cookie Crumble Frappuccino is a delicious Starbucks beverage consisting of coffee, milk, ice, and cookie crumbles. It’s sweet and creamy with a crunchy texture, thanks to the crumbles. This frappuccino goes by a few different names including mocha cookie crumble, chocolate cookie crumble, or even just cookie crumble frappuccino.

Today, I bring you my own version of this Starbucks drink, using crushed cookies, chocolate chips, chocolate syrup, ice, whipped cream, milk, and chilled espresso! You don’t want to miss out!

Starbucks Mocha Cookie Crumble Ingredients

Chocolate cream-filled sandwich cookies, divided
Espresso, chilled
Milk
Chocolate syrup, divided
Chocolate, chopped or chips
Ice
Whipped cream, garnish

Cookies – You can use Oreos or you can grab the generic version. Both work the same.

Espresso – The better the espresso, the better the frappuccino will turn out. Check out my coffee guide here.

Chocolate syrup – Have you tried making your own with cocoa powder? It’s really easy and produces a superior chocolate sauce! We love our homemade chocolate syrup recipe.

How to Make a Copycat Starbucks Mocha Cookie Crumble

Step 1: Remove the cream center of the cookies and set aside.

Step 2: Crush the cookies into crumbs using a blender or food processor. Keep a few as garnish.

Step 3: Add coffee, milk, a tablespoon of chocolate syrup, and chocolate chips to the blender and blend until smooth.

Step 4: Add the ice and blend. Once the ice is completely incorporated, place the mixture in the freezer for 1 hour so that it starts to solidify.

Step 5: In a serving glass, drizzle a tablespoon of the chocolate syrup along the glass walls and let it drip to the bottom.

Step 6: Add the remaining chocolate chips to the glass, followed by the frappe mixture.

Step 7: Garnish with syrup, whipped cream, and cookie crumbs.

FAQS about the cookie crumble frappuccino

Does The Cookie Crumble Frappuccino Have Coffee?

This cookie crumble frappuccino does contain coffee. I’ve added chilled espresso to this frappuccino recipe, but you could omit it or use decaf instant coffee granules instead as a caffeine-free alternative.

What Is The Difference Between The Java Chip And The Cookie Crumble?

These two drinks are very similar, although the Java Chip Frappuccino uses java chips made with coffee while the cookie crumble uses crumble bits.

The java chip frappuccino also has a smoother texture, while you may find yourself chewing on some crumbled cookies when enjoying the cookie crumble – but it’s totally worth it!

How Do I Order A Cookie Crumble Frappuccino At Starbucks?

Order a Mocha Cookie Crumble Frappuccino at Starbucks and ask them to add chocolate or caramel drizzle to the inside of the cup with whipped cream and extra cookie crumbles to the top. If you want to order it without coffee for your kiddos, ask for a mocha cookie crumble cream freeze. This version does not contain coffee.

Can I Store Cookie Crumble Frappuccino?

This cookie crumble frappuccino is best served and enjoyed immediately after it’s made. While you technically could store this homemade drink for a short time in the fridge, I don’t recommend it as the texture and consistency of the drink is likely to be altered.

Freezing this cookie crumble frappuccino is also not recommended since the ice crystals can affect the taste and texture of the drink once thawed.

Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Frappuccino

Kelley — Sun, 03 Oct 2021 14:06:00 +0000

Now is the time to enjoy one of your favorite fall drinks – at home! This Starbucks pumpkin spice frappuccino is a seasonal drink that you can easily make at home. No need to run to the coffee shop for this DIY coffee! Let me show you how to make it today.

I love when Starbucks fall menu comes out. It means we are one step closer to it being the fall season. You know, sweater weather full of pumpkins and spice! Of course it’s one of my favorite times of the year.

Sometimes I’m not ready to transition into hot coffee and scarves right away. Heck, most of the time it’s still pretty warm out when Starbucks releasing their fall menu. But what do I do if I want a pumpkin spice drink before it’s truly fall? I get a pumpkin spice frappuccino, OF COURSE!

What is a pumpkin spice frappuccino?

A pumpkin spice frappuccino is a frozen coffee based drink. It combines the best of both worlds – pumpkin spice and coffee. It is essentially pumpkin spice latte that has been blended.

Pumpkin frappuccino ingredients

The great thing about pumpkin frappuccinos is that you can VERY easily make them at home. You only need common ingredients and blender to make it happen. To make your own frappuccino you will need:

espresso
milk
pumpkin
sweetener
pumpkin pie spice
ice

Espresso – You will want to use cooled, brewed espresso. You can also use instant espresso mixed with water as well. Heck, even cold brew coffee would suffice.

Milk – Feel free to use your favorite milk in this recipe. Want to make it dairy-free? Use almond or coconut milk.

Pumpkin – You want plain canned pumpkin for this recipe. Pumpkin puree will work as well. Since you only use a 1/4 cup of the pumpkin, here are some other great pumpkin recipes to try: pumpkin cider, pumpkin sweet cream cold brew, pumpkin spice chai latte.

Sweetener – Use your favorite sweetener here. It can be sugar, brown sugar, stevia or any other sweetener.

Pumpkin pie spice – Since it’s pumpkin season, I suggest making a batch of homemade pumpkin pie spice to have on hand. It’s easy to make and great for recipes like this. You can also purchase it at the store as well.

How to make a pumpkin spice frappuccino

Once you have gathered all your ingredients, all you have to do is whip up your copycat frappuccino. You will need to grab:

measuring cups and spoons
a blender
a glass

Step 1 Make the espresso If you are using regular espresso, you can make it in your espresso maker, Keurig or using a moka-pot on the stove. You can also use instant espresso as well. Allow it to cool before adding it to the blender.

Step 2 Blend Place all of your ingredients in a blender, including the pumpkin pie spice. Blend until smooth.

Step 3 Top and enjoy Pour your pumpkin frappucino into a cup and top with whipped cream. Sprinkle with pumpkin pie spice and enjoy!

Does Starbucks pumpkin spice frappuccino have coffee in it?

Yup! A pumpkin spice frappuccino from Starbucks and this homemade version both have coffee in them. You can make this without coffee, but you would need to add more milk to compensate for the loss of liquid.

When does Starbucks have pumpkin spice frappuccinos?

Starbucks starts to carry their fall menu, which includes this pumpkin spice frappuccino, at the end of August. They normally share when their official start date on social media and via email since it’s such a popular menu.

How to order a pumpkin spice frappuccino out of season

Starbucks seems to keep quite the supply of the pumpkin syrup on hand because you can normally still order any pumpkin spice drink after their fall menu is gone. If you are craving pumpkin spice, ask the barista if they still have the syrup in stock. If not, you can easily make this version at home! OR you can get a basic frappuccino and add homemade pumpkin syrup to it at home.

Tips and Tricks

This pumpkin frappuccino is super simple to make, but some of my tips for the best drink possible are:

Use a high powdered blender for this drink. It will help get your drink as smooth as possible.
You can make homemade whipped cream for this drink or grab a can from the store. Want to make it even more fall inspired? Add pumpkin puree to your homemade whipped cream!
Make sure your espresso is slightly cooled before adding it to your blender. If you add hot espresso, it will melt the ice and your drink won’t be as thick.

What to serve with a pumpkin spice frappuccino

This pumpkin spice frappuccino is perfect on it’s own, but you can also add a sweet treat with it. Some of my favorites are:

Starbucks Frappuccino Copycat

Kelley — Fri, 11 Jun 2021 19:39:54 +0000

I love a good Starbucks drink, but my wallet isn’t very fond of it. But, when the craving sets in, it’s hard to walk away. That’s why I love this delicious Starbucks copycat frappuccino!

Made with only 3 ingredients, this chilled coffee drink tastes just like the real thing! The best part is that you don’t even have to leave the house to get one! Whip up this cool energizing drink in just a few minutes.

What is a Frappuccino?

A frappuccino is a cold, flavored coffee drink that is usually topped with whip cream and sometimes chocolate.

Frappuccino is actually a Starbucks trademark. It’s a combination of frappe and cappuccino. The drink was originally developed and trademarked in Massachusetts by The Coffee Connection. The coffee shop was bought by Starbucks who made a few changes and brought the frappuccino to the world!

Starbucks Frappuccino Ingredients

You only need 3 ingredients for this recipe! Here’s what you need:

1/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup coffee or espresso, chilled
1 pint coffee or vanilla ice cream

Whole milk: Whole milk works the best because it makes your frappuccino thicker. You could use half and half as well.

Coffee or espresso: Make your coffee as you normally would, and then chill it for your frappuccino.

Coffee or vanilla ice cream: This gives your frappuccino a deliciously creamy flavor and texture. You can use your favorite vanilla ice cream or give your frappuccino a little extra caffeine with some coffee ice cream.

How to Make a Starbucks Copycat Frappuccino at Home

This recipe will make you 2 delicious Frappucinos, and it only takes 5 minutes to make!

First, combine all the ingredients in the blender. Then, blend it on high speed until all the ingredients are thoroughly combined.

What Kind of Coffee Do I Need?

Starbucks uses an ingredient called frap roast in place of hot coffee. However, you can use an espresso maker if you have one, or you can brew very very strong coffee instead. To learn more about what coffee you can use, read Types of Coffee Roast.

What are the Best Toppings for this Frappuccino?

I personally love to top my Frappuccino with a drizzle of chocolate syrup and some whip cream! In fact, I have some delicious homemade toppings that are perfect for your copycat frappuccino. Check them out, below!

There are many reasons to make this frappuccino at home.

The main reason is that Starbucks can get pretty expensive!

Also, let’s face it- as moms we sometimes just don’t feel like going anywhere if we don’t have to! I know I’m constantly on the go, so if I want a sweet treat, I prefer to make it than have to leave the house again.

2 c vanilla bean ice cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 c milk
1-2 c ice
¼ c strawberry jam

Vanilla bean ice cream – You can use whatever brand of ice cream you prefer. You can also try your hand at homemade ice cream if you are looking for a fun project to do with the kids.

Vanilla extract – Helps to give this frappuccino and nice, mellow flavor. You can try homemade vanilla extract on this one too.

Jamocha Shake Recipe

Kelley — Thu, 01 Apr 2021 04:05:02 +0000

Shakes are delicious and coffee is amazing and when you mix them together, what you get is pure heaven! This easy coffee shake is a copycat of Arby’s famous jamocha shake and you won’t be sorry for trying to make it yourself.

I remember when I was pregnant with my first that all I wanted was Sonic ice water and Arby’s Jamocha shakes. The two are polar opposites, but you can’t really explain pregnancy cravings.

What is a Jamocha Shake?

This delicious shake is a copycat of Arby’s jamocha shake. It is a popular shake that you can get at the famous fast food chain. It is a combination of coffee, ice cream and mocha syrup. The good news is that it’s pretty easy to make at home!

Jamocha Shake Ingredients

Most of the ingredients needed for this easy coffee shake are pretty common and may already be in your kitchen and pantry. Let’s go over a few of them:

Cold Coffee – You will want to make sure the coffee is cool or it will melt the ice cream. You can make the coffee as strong or as light as you would like, but remember it will affect the flavor of the jamocha shake. I love using cold brew coffee for my shakes!
Whole milk – Whole milk will make your jamocha shake a little bit thicker but if you prefer to use skim milk, you can. You can also use any dairy-free milk you prefer. It may affect the consistency of the shake, but will still taste great.
Vanilla bean ice cream – Grab your favorite pint of vanilla bean ice cream and get ready for a delicious shake.
Chocolate Syrup – You will need chocolate sauce or syrup for this shake as well. I love using my homemade chocolate sauce for this recipe!

Exact Ingredients Needed

· 1 1/2 cups of cold coffee
· 3/4 cup of whole milk
· 2 tablespoons of sugar
· 3 cups of vanilla bean ice cream
· 5 tablespoons of chocolate syrup

How to Make a Jamocha Shake

As I stated above, this homemade Jamaica shake is super easy to make and quick as well. Here’s what you do:

Step 1: In a blender, mix coffee, milk and sugar.

You will want to blend on medium to high until it is well mixed and has a smooth consistency.

Step 2: Add ice cream and 3 tablespoons of chocolate syrup. Blend until smooth.

For the step, you will want to turn the blender off after blending the ingredients together in the first step. If you try to add the ice cream while it’s blending, it may splash out.

Step 3: To thicken if needed, set in the freezer for 30 minutes.

You can check it after 15 minutes to see if it’s the desired consistency.

Step 4: Pour into glass and drizzle remaining chocolate syrup

Feel free to add more or less chocolate syrup as desired. Enjoy!

What Pairs Well With a Jamocha Shake

One of my favorite things about a jamocha shake is that it can pair well with either dessert or a savory item. When I’m eating at Arby’s, I love a jamocha shake with my roast beef sandwich. Here are some amazing recipes that you can try with your jamocha shake.

How to Store Leftovers

With this delicious homemade jamocha shake, you can keep it in the fridge but it’s only going to last for a matter of hours. You’re going to want to keep it in a cup with a lid. I would say probably 4 to 6 hours at the max is what you can keep it in the refrigerator for and when you pull it out if it’s too liquidy, you’re probably going to want to put it back in the freezer for a little while so it will solidify.

Can I Freeze it?

You can freeze it but you have to keep in mind that when you go to take it back out of the freezer, it’s going to be like an ice cream consistency and not a shake. If you decide to freeze it, you will only want to leave it in the freezer for up to 7 days in an airtight container.

Butterbeer latte

Kelley — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 15:00:00 +0000

Love Harry Potter AND coffee? You have got to try this butterbeer latte! This easy DIY coffee recipe combines coffee with the sweet taste of a homemade butterbeer! Just like Harry would drink! Let me show you how to make this recipe today.

Yessss! I am so so excited to share today’s drink recipe with yall! FOR SO MANY REASONS! First and foremost – I am a Harry Potter nerd. I love love the whole Harry Potter series and have read all the books multiple times. I’ve seen all the movies and if there is a HP marathon on TV, well, I’m busy. I love them THAT much.

Funny side story about HP. When Ryon and I first started dating the last Harry Potter book (the Deathly Hallows part 2) had just come out. We turned date night into “Kelley needs the last HP book” night and made a trip to Barnes and Noble to buy it. There was a huge display when you first walked in and I squealed from excitement. I grabbed a book and so did Ryon. He flipped to the back page and looked up at me and said “Poor Harry!”

Not.even.kidding! I was SO mad at him! I avoided him the rest of the night and still hold a slight grudge against him for hurting my Harry Potter loving heart. (Side note – that’s not how the book ends, thank goodness!)

What is a butterbeer latte?

In the books and movies they talk about butterbeers a lot. They are a drink that the students from Hogwarts drink when out and about. You can even order one at Disney in their Harry Potter world. Which is great if you live close to Disney, but I want a butterbeer all.the.time. Or at least a few times a year.

My first time trying a butterbeer latte was a year or so ago when my blogging friend Diana posted a how do you order a butterbeer latte at Starbucks. Say whaaa?!? Coffee and Harry Potter? My life is complete! I immediately went and ordered one and then re-created it at home!

Butterbeer latte ingredients

The great thing about this butterbeer latte is that you only need a few ingredients to make one at home. You will need:

espresso or strong coffee
English toffee syrup
Caramel syrup
milk
whipped cream
caramel

Coffee – You can use either espresso (instant or not) or hot strong coffee. You need a hot coffee base to help dissolve the syrups and help give this drink a smooth texture.

Syrups – You will also need English toffee syrup and caramel syrup. Torani has an amazing English toffee syrup that I just love and use frequently in my copycat coffee drinks. Or if you’d like you can try and make homemade syrups.

Milk – You can use whatever milk you prefer for this butterbeer latte recipe. I just add in cold milk to mine but feel free to steam yours if you like. Whipped cream and caramel are used for topping and round out the ingredients need for this recipe.

How to make a butterbeer latte at home

To start, brew your strong coffee or espresso. Add in both syrups to a mug and then pour in the coffee. Mix to combine everything. Pour in your milk of choice, either cold or steamed. Top with whipped cream and caramel sauce, if desired.

The last step to this butterbeer latte is to get in your pajamas and watch a HP marathon on TV. It’s totally optional but highly suggested!

How do you order a hot butterbeer from Starbucks?

Like I mentioned above, my friend Diana opened my eyes to the world that is butterbeer lattes. To order a hot butterbeer latte ask for:

whole milk steamer

Cherry Mocha Frappuccino-Starbucks Copycat

Kelley — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 19:27:19 +0000

I absolutely love Starbucks Frappuccinos, but if I went there every day, I would seriously break the bank. It’s about $5 a day for a Frap which is $35 per week, $140 a month, and $1680 per year. The best thing to do is to make your favorite copycat coffee drinks at home for a fraction of the cost. This cherry mocha frappuccino is super easy to make and saves you some serious moolah.

The more DIY coffee drinks I make at home, the more I realize there is almost an endless combination of flavors. When I first started trying Starbucks copycat drinks at home, I started with the most popular ones.

My first copycat drink was the iced chai latte because I was obsessed with them at the time. I wanted to stop in and grab one every day. Once I realized how easy they were to make, I cut down my coffee trips and set out to make more DIY coffee drinks at home.

What is a Cherry Frappuccino?

Just like a Frappuccino you would get at Starbucks, the Cherry Frappe is one you can make at home. It’s a combination of coffee or espresso, sweet flavorings, and topped with cherries. You are going to love it!

If you like Starbucks Frappuccinos, you will love this delicious Mocha Cherry Frappuccino. It’s just like your Mocha Frappe with a little cherry taste. But who doesn’t like chocolate and cherries?

How Much Money Will I Save Making My Own Coffee Drinks?

Like I said above, I could spend about $5 per day at Starbucks. Depending on what size drink you get, you the average is $3.43 to $4.43 per drink at Starbucks. However, there are some that are about $7 a piece if you have a more expensive taste.

With the averages, you are spending at the least $1,221 per year buying Starbucks. Being able to make drinks like this at home really adds up!

Cherry Mocha Frappuccino Ingredients

A cup of yogurt or ice cream
1 shot of espresso or 1/8 cup of strongly brewed coffee
1 tsp of cocoa powder
½ cup of pitted cherries
1 tsp of vanilla extract
Whipping cream and cherries to garnish

Yogurt or ice cream – The base of most frappuccinos is ice cream. You can use ice cream or to make it healthier you can use your favorite yogurt.

Espresso or coffee – You can use either a shot of espresso or 1/8 cup of strong coffee. Whichever you prefer!

Cocoa powder – Cocoa powder or even chocolate syrup can be used here.

Cherries – Fresh or frozen cherries work here. If frozen, allow to thaw slightly before using.

Whipped cream – Store bought or homemade whipped cream are perfect for this copycat recipe.

How to Make a Cherry Mocha Frappuccino

Instead of waiting in line at the Starbucks for 10-minutes to spend your hard earned money, you can easily whip this Frappe up in just a few minutes. All you need is a blender. Here’s what you do:

1.Place ingredients into a blender and blend

2.Garnish with whipping cream and a cherry

Whipped coffee

Kelley — Sun, 05 Apr 2020 03:15:22 +0000

Have you heard of fluffy coffee? It’s actually called dalgona coffee and is all the rage right now. Dalgona is whipped coffee that is served over milk. It’s the new hot (or cold) coffee trend in town. Let me show you how to make this DIY coffee drink at home in about 5 minutes.

I will admit that whenever there is a new coffee trend or flavor I am one of the first ones to try it. I have to know if it’s as amazing as everyone on social media is saying it is. Plus, I just love a good coffee.

When this fluffy coffee started to show up, I knew I had to try it. Since I am an avid coffee drinker, I already had all the ingredients in my kitchen.

In fact, I bet you have most of the ingredients on hand too. You are a few steps away from making your own fluffy (or floofy) coffee at home.

What is dalgona coffee?

Dalgona has Indian origins and combines equal parts instant coffee, sugar and water together. You whip together the mixture until it becomes creamy and yes, a little bit fluffy. The fluffy coffee is then scooped on top of milk, either hot or iced.

This dalgona recipe also goes by whipped coffee, Tiktok coffee, and even beaten coffee. It’s pretty popular across social media right now and probably has a few other names too.

Whipped coffee ingredients

The best part of this diy coffee drink is that you only need 3 ingredients to make this dalgona recipe. You will need:

Instant coffee
Sugar
Water

Instant coffee – You can use any type of instant coffee you’d like to make fluffy coffee. I like Nescafe Instant Coffee but you can use whatever instant coffee you’d like. Death Wish is an instant coffee that claims to be the world’s strongest coffee, so it may be fun to try!

Can I use regular brewed coffee?
No, it doesn’t whip up like instant coffee does. You can use instant espresso if you’d like but not regular coffee.

Sugar – Any sugar you want will work in this recipe. Regular white sugar, raw sugar or even coconut sugar. Just make sure to use a granulated sugar.

How to make whipped coffee

Once you have your ingredients you will need to grab:

a large bowl
measuring spoons
hand mixer or stand mixer or milk frother or a whisk or immersion blender

Step 1: Place the instant coffee, sugar and hot water in your bowl. You need hot water in order to dissolve the instant coffee.

Step 2: Using your mixer of choice start to whip the coffee mixture in the bowl. Continue to whip until creamy and soft peaks form.

Depending on what you use it could take between 5-20 minutes to reach soft peaks. The hand mixer and stand mixer will take about 5 minutes. The frother will take 8-10 minutes and the

Step 3: Pour your milk into your glass, either hot or iced, and scoop the whipped coffee on top of the milk. Stir a little to incorporate the coffee into the milk and enjoy.

You can use whatever milk that you like here – regular milk, almond milk, or even coconut milk.

This recipe is enough for 2 cups of whipped coffee.

How to store leftovers

You can place any leftover whipped coffee in an airtight container in the fridge. When you want to use it again, pull it out, give it a quick stir or whip and add it to your favorite milk.

Can I freeze whipped coffee?

You can! Make a big batch and freeze the leftovers for easy coffee in the morning. Place any leftover coffee in an airtight container and place in the fridge. The whipped coffee will not harden and will be easy to scoop. Give it a quick stir before adding it to your milk.

Whipped coffee variations

The fun thing about this coffee is that you can easily change it up with a few simple additions.

Make a vanilla whipped coffee by adding vanilla extract to the mix.

Make chocolate whipped coffee by adding cocoa powder to the mix or chocolate syrup to the cup.

You can also make a raspberry whipped coffee by adding fresh raspberries to the whipped topping.

DIY Starbucks Drinks

Kelley — Sat, 28 Mar 2020 04:00:54 +0000

We all love making a Starbucks run and grabbing our favorite coffee drink. But sometimes we either can’t make it out or don’t want to spend the extra money. No worries! Let me show you how to make your favorite DIY Starbucks drinks at home.

We all love a good coffee but sometimes we aren’t able to get out of the house to get one. NO WORRY! You can make your own Starbucks drinks at home. You just need a few ingredients per coffee to make a coffee house quality coffee.

The good news is that you don’t need any fancy equipment or expensive products to make a high-quality coffee at home. I should know – I have spent YEARS making copycat coffee house drinks at home.

The first few years was because I was a new stay at home mom of 2 under 2 and couldn’t afford fancy pants drinks. Nor was it fun to wrestle two kids in the car just for a coffee run.

Now I make DIY Starbucks drinks because I have most of the ingredients on hand and I love sharing how to save time/money by making them at home. In fact, once you have all the basics, making Starbucks drinks at home is easy and becomes second natural.

To make your own coffeehouse drinks, I will cover:

coffee
equipment
flavors

Let’s get started!

Start with coffee

I also suggest that you use a good quality coffee when making a Starbucks drink at home. Heck, even use the Starbucks brand coffee if you’d like.

But do not use the cheapest coffee you can find. Your drink will end up not tasting the best. Brands like Folgers and Maxwell House will not give you the flavor you have come to expect from a coffeehouse drink.

Coffee brands that I would recommend are Starbucks, Peets, Caribou, Death Wish and Black Rifle. These are good quality coffees that make brew great copycat drinks at home.

The disclaimer to this is to use whatever coffee you already have on hand first. Don’t run out and buy the most expensive coffee to experiment with. Use what you have at home and then maybe upgrade to a better quality coffee.

Coffee equipment

Another great thing about making your coffee at home is that you don’t have to use any special equipment. In fact, a coffee maker is the most important part of making homemade Starbucks drinks. (Unless you’re making cold brew!)

An espresso machine, while a great addition to any coffee lovers kitchen, is not an essential piece of making fancy drinks at home. It would be nice and give you a richer flavor, but all you need is a basic coffee maker.

Another fun piece of coffee equipment would be a milk frother. Again, this is not a necessity, but it does add a nice touch to be able to froth your milk. You can buy a small handheld milk frother or opt for a nicer electronic one.

Other things that you will need to make DIY Starbucks coffee at home would be:

coffee mugs
spoons
measuring cups and spoons

Coffee syrups and flavors

Coffee syrups and flavors are really what take a plain coffee and make it coffeehouse quality. There are flavors for any type of coffee that you want to make. I’m going to share some of my favorites and the ones that are best to have on hand to make DIY Starbucks drinks.

Best basic syrups to have

You can also try your hand at making homemade coffee syrups as well. This would make your DIY coffee even more hand crafted and delicious.

Coffee syrups are really just flavored simple syrups. So to make them you need to use equal parts sugar to water and about a teaspoon of flavor.

For example, a basic vanilla syrup would be:

1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix everything together in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Allow to simmer for about 5 minutes and remove from stove.

Some of my favorite DIY coffee syrups are:

How to make DIY Starbucks at home

Now that you have your coffee and syrups, you can make your own Starbuck-esque drinks at home.

Start with something like a vanilla or caramel latte. These are two easy drinks that combine the basic syrups, coffee and milk together.

Now a “true latte” uses espresso, steamed milk and milk foam. You can do all this if you’d like but a basic latte would be coffee, syrup and warmed milk.

Try making my basic vanilla latte that just combined the ingredients and work your way up to heated milk and frothy milk foam. You may realize that you like the basic version just as much as the fancy-i-fied one.

Other DIY Starbucks Drinks to try:

Iced cinnamon dolce latte
White chocolate mocha
Double chocolate chip frappuccino (you need a blender for this one.)
Spiced cold brew coffee
Peppermint mocha
Pumpkin spice latte
Chestnut praline latte

Non-coffee DIY Starbucks drinks

You can also try your hand at other non-coffee drinks that Starbucks has to offer. It’s always cheaper and more nutritious to make these at home. My favorite non-coffee treats are:

DIY Starbucks food

Another thing you can try out is making your favorite Starbucks food items at home. Once you realize how easy they are to make, you may never their order food again.
