If you’re a fan of Starbucks’ famous Peppermint Mocha, you’ll be thrilled to know that it’s easy (and affordable!) to make your own version at home. With just four simple ingredients — water, sugar, cocoa powder, and peppermint extract — you can whip up a delicious Peppermint Mocha Syrup that turns any cup of coffee, latte, or hot chocolate into a festive holiday treat. Let’s dive into how to make it and a few fun ways to enjoy it all season long.

? Why You’ll Love This Peppermint Mocha Syrup

There’s no need to wait in line or spend extra money at the coffee shop when you can create your own peppermint mocha magic at home. This syrup is:

• Perfectly festive – it brings the spirit of the holidays straight into your mug.

• Simple and quick – made with pantry staples in about 10 minutes.

• Customizable – you can adjust the sweetness or intensity of the peppermint to your taste.

• Versatile – use it in coffee, hot chocolate, desserts, or even cocktails.

Once you make a batch, you’ll wonder why you ever bought flavored syrups again!

? Ingredients You’ll Need

This recipe keeps things simple and classic. You only need four ingredients — and chances are, you already have most of them at home:

• 1 cup of water

• 1 cup of granulated sugar

• 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder

• 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract

That’s it! These ingredients come together to form a smooth, chocolatey syrup with the perfect hint of peppermint.

??? How to Make Peppermint Mocha Syrup

Making this syrup couldn’t be easier. Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a jar of holiday cheer ready in no time:

1. Combine the water, sugar, and cocoa powder.
   In a small saucepan, add the water, sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk the mixture over medium heat until the sugar completely dissolves and the cocoa is fully incorporated. You should have a smooth, glossy mixture.

2. Simmer gently.
   Once everything is combined, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent any sticking or burning. The syrup will start to thicken slightly as it cooks.

3. Add the peppermint extract.
   Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of peppermint extract. Be careful — peppermint extract is strong, so a little goes a long way!

4. Cool and store.
   Allow the syrup to cool completely, then transfer it to a glass jar or bottle with a tight-fitting lid. Store it in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

? How to Use Your Peppermint Mocha Syrup

Once you’ve made your syrup, the fun begins! Here are some delicious ways to use it:

? Peppermint Mocha Latte

The classic! Brew a strong cup of coffee or espresso, then add 1–2 tablespoons of peppermint mocha syrup and top with steamed milk. Garnish with whipped cream, chocolate shavings, or crushed candy canes for a festive touch.

? Peppermint Hot Chocolate

Stir a spoonful of syrup into a mug of hot milk or hot chocolate for a minty twist on a winter classic.

? Peppermint Mocha Milkshake

Blend vanilla or chocolate ice cream with a splash of milk and a few tablespoons of syrup for a cool, creamy treat that tastes like the holidays.

? Dessert Drizzle

Drizzle the syrup over brownies, cheesecake, or ice cream. It adds a gorgeous shine and rich flavor that’s irresistible.

? Pro Tips for the Best Peppermint Mocha Syrup

• Adjust sweetness to taste. If you prefer your drinks less sweet, reduce the sugar slightly or use a darker cocoa powder for a more intense chocolate flavor.

• Use high-quality cocoa powder. The flavor of the syrup depends heavily on the cocoa you use, so pick a good unsweetened brand like Ghirardelli or Hershey’s Special Dark.

• Don’t overdo the peppermint. It’s easy to go from “festive” to “toothpaste” — so start with 1 teaspoon and taste before adding more.

• Store it right. Keep it in the fridge in a sealed jar or squeeze bottle. It’ll stay fresh for about 2 weeks — perfect for the entire holiday season.

? Make It a Homemade Gift

This syrup also makes a wonderful DIY holiday gift! Pour it into a small glass bottle or mason jar, tie it with a festive ribbon, and add a handwritten tag that says “Peppermint Mocha Syrup – Add to coffee or cocoa for instant holiday joy!”

Pair it with a cute mug or a small bag of coffee beans, and you have a thoughtful, homemade present that friends and family will love.

I first heard about freakshakes when I was on a trip to Vegas. On that trip I was pregnant with my second son and devoured the hearty milkshake. Well, that son is now 8 and it’s taken me this long to get around to perfecting the recipe. This one is pretty dang close to the one I had in Vegas and still get cravings for every now and then!

What is a freakshake?

A freakshake is a milkshake that is extra thick and has additional ingredients added to the top of the shake or outside of the cup it’s on. It’s a milkshake that’s extra tasty. The fun thing about freakshakes is that you can easily make them your own! You can add all your favorite toppings to your finished shake and make it truly unique. Once you start making this monster milkshakes, you will be hooked!

Chocolate Freakshake Ingredients

My suggestion is to start with my freakshake recipe and then build on it based on what you love. To make my chocolate freakshake you will need:

• chocolate milk
• chocolate ice cream
• marshmallows
• dark chocolate chips
• milk
• chocolate
• white chocolate

Chocolate milk – The base of this drink is chocolate milk, which helps make it extra chocolate-y! Feel free to use your favorite chocolate milk here! Out of chocolate milk? Use my homemade chocolate sauce recipe to whip up a batch! You will also need some chocolate sauce to top your shake at the end.

Chocolate ice cream – Double down on the chocolate with your favorite chocolate-y ice cream! Whatever chocolate ice cream you like will work great here.

Dark Chocolate Chips – Triple the chocolate with some dark chocolate chips! You can find these in the baking aisle at the grocery store. You will also want to grab some white chocolate chips too!

Milk – Whatever milk you prefer will work here. Skim, 2%, whole or even heavy cream will be just fine.

Marshmallows – Mini marshmallows are added to the top of the shake so grab a bag of those while you are in the baking aisle.

How to make a chocolate freak shake at home

There are really two main steps to create this freak shake. Make the shake and add the extras – both are super simple to do too!

Step 1: Blend. Combine your ice cream, chocolate milk and regular milk in a high powered blender. Blend until smooth.

While you are blending or sometime before, melt some of the chocolate in the microwave or double boiler. Line the inside of the cup by pouring the chocolate down from the lip and use the back of a spoon to spread it out.

Step 2: Decorate. Gently pour the milkshake into your chocolate lined cup. Add your whipped cream, melted chocolate and marshmallows on top. Have fun with it! Break off pieces of the other chocolates and attach them to the side of the cup or on top of the cream.

There is no right or wrong way to build your chocolate freak shake!

Chocolate freak shake FAQs and Tips

One of the best things about making a freak shake or any milkshake is that you can customize it to be your own unique creation! I would suggest starting with this recipe as a base and then adding your personal touches to the shake.

These shakes are very easy to make but here are a few pointers and frequently asked questions.

What type of chocolate do I need? You can use any type of chocolate here that you’d like. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet or even white chocolate. Use whatever chocolate you have on hand or grab your favorite from the store!

Tip: This shake is best enjoyed fresh. It does not store well in the fridge or freezer.

What type of blender works best? Personally, I love my Ninja blender. It’s high powered and makes the perfect shakes. Any blender will work for this recipe, but if you are looking for a new one, I highly suggest trying out this Ninja blender.

Tip: Make it dairy-free by changing your milk and chocolate.

Can I add other toppings to my shake? Absolutely! You can add anything you’d like. Some other fun options include:

• chocolate sprinkles
• caramel sauce
• Oreos
• your favorite candy

There are so many reasons why I love this tiramisu latte. First, you know by now that I love all things coffee related! From homemade coffee recipes to coffee ice creams, I am here for it all! I may have mentioned a few times before that I am part Italian too – so tiramisu is my love language. This latte combines both of my loves into one delicious drink!

What is an Iced Tiramisu Latte?

A regular latte combines fresh brewed espresso with milk. This latte is similar to classic lattes except it has a few classic elements from traditional tiramisu. It incorporates amaretto syrup, chocolate and Mascarpone into one amazing latte. The best part? It’s super simple to make at home and enjoy whenever you feel like tiramisu in a glass!

Tiramisu Latte Ingredients

Unlike most of my copycat coffee drinks, this one requires a few special ingredients. They are easy to find and once you have them on hand, you can whip up with latte fast! To make a tiramisu latte you will need:

• espresso
• milk
• mascarpone
• chocolate sauce
• amaretto syrup
• whipped cream
• ice
• lady fingers

Espresso – I always say that if you don’t have an espresso machine, no problem! Use a high quality coffee or instant espresso! I love this Cafe Bustelo brand instant espresso.

Milk – Use your favorite milk or dairy-free milk option here. Want to make this even creamier? Try adding heavy cream instead of the milk!

Mascarpone – Here is where the magic starts to happen with this latte! Mascarpone is a creamy Italian cheese that is used on pastries and in baked goods.

Most commonly used in tiramisu! You can find mascarpone in the cheese section of most grocery stores. You only need a little for this latte so save the rest for classic tiramisu or my tiramisu cheesecake!

Chocolate sauce – You can use your favorite store bought chocolate sauce, such as Hershey’s, or you can make your own! We love this homemade chocolate sauce because it’s so simple and has so much flavor!

Amaretto syrup – This one may be a little harder to find, but it adds so much authentic flavor to this latte. I have this Torani amaretto syrup in my pantry and use it more often than I thought I would!

Whipped cream – This is another ingredient that you can make at home or buy at the store. My kids love helping make our homemade whipped cream, so we opt for homemade.

Lady fingers – These are optional, but are nice to dip into your coffee. You can find them in the Italian section of grocery stores.

How to make an Iced Tiramisu Latte

Once you have gathered all your ingredients, it’s time to whip up your latte! Follow these simple steps to make your homemade tiramisu latte in no time!

Step 1: Mix sweeteners. Mix together the chocolate and amaretto syrups with the espresso.

Tip: The sweeteners mix best if the espresso is warm. Even if you use instant, make sure the water is hot.

Step 2: Pour over ice. Add ice to a glass and pour the espresso mixture over top. Add your milk of choice.

Step 3: Mix mascarpone and whipped cream. In a small bowl mix together the two. Pour it over the top of the milk. Top with a lady finger and enjoy!

Recipe FAQs and Tips

What does a tiramisu latte taste like? Easy! It takes like a slice of tiramisu in a cup! It is a classic Italian dessert that has notes of amaretto and chocolate mixed with a creamy mascarpone cheese.

Tip: Adding the lady finger is a nice touch and almost like biscotti. It is optional but a fun addition.

Do I have to add the mascarpone? No, you don’t have to use it, but it does help with the authentic flavor of this drink. It can be harder to find at small grocery stores, so feel free to omit it if you can’t find it.

Tip: Use a spatula to mix together the mascarpone and whipped cream before adding it to your drink.

I remember many, many years ago I made friends with one of the baristas at ‘bucks that worked in the Target. I told her I wanted a drink that would get me going and tasted good – I trusted her opinion. She made me a double Americano over ice with a little sweetener. When I tell you I buzzed around that store SO fast! Not only did it give me the jump I needed – it was delicious too! The shaken espresso is the same drink, just better!

What is a salted caramel shaken espresso?

A shaken espresso is just that – fresh brewed espresso poured over ice and shaken. You can add sweeteners to it while shaking and easily change up the flavor. (Like my original shaken espresso that uses brown sugar syrup!) The cold espresso is then poured over ice and topped with milk to make one of the best coffee based drinks you have ever tasted! Some other reasons I love this shaken espresso is-

• simple to make
• easy to customize
• save money making it at home

Caramel shaken espresso ingredients

The best part of this drink is that you don’t need a whole list of complicated ingredients to make it at home. In fact, you may have most of them already! Once you have everything, you can easily make this drink over and over! To make a salted caramel iced espresso at home you will need:

• espresso
• salted caramel syrup
• milk
• ice

Espresso – Don’t have an espresso machine? That’s ok! Use a high quality instant espresso and hot water. I love this King Arthur instant espresso! It has a great flavor and is high quality.

Salted caramel syrup – Torani is my go to for pre-made syrups! I love their salted caramel syrup for this espresso drink. (Here are some of my homemade syrups too!)

Milk – Use your favorite milk for this drink. I love adding heavy cream in place on milk to make a decadent copycat coffee drink. Feel free to use your favorite milk or milk alternative here.

How to make a salted caramel shaken espresso

Once you have gathered all of your ingredients, you will also need to grab a mason jar or cock tail shaker, glass and spoon.

Step 1 – Make the espresso. Either brew your espresso with an espresso machine or make hot instant espresso. You want a fresh hot espresso base for this drink.

Step 2 – Shake. Add ice to a mason jar or cocktail shaker. Pour the syrup and hot espresso in. Shake for 1-2 minutes until the outside of the jar is cold and most of the ice has melted. The espresso will be frothy too.

Step 3 – Enjoy! Pour the shaken espresso into another glass that is full of ice. Add your milk on top and stir to combine. Sip and enjoy!

Looking for other caramel drinks to try? Some other favorites are:

• Salted caramel latte
• Iced caramel macchiato
• Caramel brulee latte
• Caramel apple sangria

Recipe Tips and FAQs

I love that a drink that is so popular right now is actually super simple to make at home. Here are some quick tips and frequently asked questions about this salted caramel shaken espresso.

Why is it called a shaken espresso? It’s called a shaken espresso because you literally shake the fresh brewed espresso over ice. It helps to cool down the hot espresso and gives it a nice airy texture.

What’s the difference between a latte and a shaken espresso? A shaken espresso is more concentrated than a traditional latte. A latte uses steamed milk and foam which dilutes the caffeine in the drink. A shaken espresso only uses milk on top.

Can I use caramel sauce instead? Yes, you can use caramel sauce instead of caramel syrup. I love using my homemade caramel sauce in coffee drinks! I suggest adding it right away to the hot espresso so it has time to blend into the coffee.

How can I make this dairy free? You sure can! Instead of the milk that is listed, feel free to use your favorite milk alternative. Almond, coconut and oat milk would be great options for this shaken espresso.

How do I order a shaken espresso at Starbucks? The great thing is Starbucks has shaken espressos on their menu full time! You can either order one that they offer, like the Brown Sugar Oatmilk Shaken Espresso, or order a different one. If you wanted to order a salted caramel shaken espresso you would say “Can I have a grande salted caramel shaken espresso?” Easy peasy!

Other Starbucks copycat drinks to try

If you are anything like me, you are always on the hunt for new coffee ideas! Some of my other favorite copycat Starbucks drinks are:

One of my favorite things to do is try new coffee and teas at coffee houses. I tend to get in a coffee rut and drink the same thing over and over again until I find a new favorite. When I first ordered a London fog, I was obsessed. I ordered it no less than 6 times before trying to make it at home. And guess what? It’s super simple to make at home! (Like most of my copycat coffee drinks!)

What is a London Fog?

Unlike most of my coffee drinks, this one is not espresso based. A London fog, or Earl grey tea latte, is a tea based drink made with vanilla and steamed milk. Earle grey tea is common in the United Kingdom and England areas and is served in the morning and evening. It is a smooth and cozy drink that I know you will love! This latte is:

• easy to make
• customizable
• great for morning or evening

London Fog Latte Ingredients

You only need a few common ingredients to make a homemade London fog – I bet you even have most of them on hand now! You will need:

• Earl grey tea
• Milk
• Honey
• Vanilla

Earl grey tea – You can find Earl grey tea at most grocery stores in the coffee and tea aisle. I always suggest using a higher quality brand like this Allegro Earl grey tea. You can also use a Keurig pod Earl grey!

Milk – Use your favorite milk in this latte! Want a dairy-free London fog? Use almond, coconut or oat milk in place of cows milk.

Honey – A high quality, locally sourced honey is always the best choice. Using local honey helps small bee keepers and can help with allergies!

Vanilla – Part of a London fog latte is the vanilla taste. Use a good vanilla extra in this drink to really bring together all the flavors.

How to make a London Fog Latte

Once you have gathered all your ingredients, you will also need to grab some water, a tea pot or a sauce pan, a cup and a spoon. Like most coffees it can be broken down into brewing, frothing and stirring.

Step 1: Brew the tea. Bring your water to a boil and remove from heat. Allow the tea bags to steep for 3-5 minutes. Or brew your k-cup Earl grey tea and set aside.

Step 2: Froth the milk. Warm your milk in the microwave or over the stove until almost boiling. Remove from heat, add the vanilla extract and froth with a milk frother. I love my Instant Pot milk frother for making frothy steamed milk! (It also has a cold foam setting!)

Step 3: Combine. Pour the steeped tea into a coffee mug. Add the honey and stir to combine. Add the frothed milk on top of the tea mixture. Enjoy hot!

Recipe Tips and FAQs

This Starbucks copycat London Fog latte is simple to make and I can guarantee once you try it will be in your drink rotation regularly. Here are some quick tips and frequently asked questions about the London Fog latte.

What does a London Fog taste like? A London fog latte uses Earl grey tea, which is a very mild variety with hints of bergamont and vanilla. The honey adds to the sweetness and the milk makes it smooth and creamy. It is definitely one you want to try!

What’s the difference between a London Fog and an Earl grey tea latte? Nothing! They are the same thing. An Earl grey tea latte just uses the type of tea in the name.

Can I make a dairy-free London fog latte? Yup! You sure can! Use a dairy free milk alternative instead of the cows milk. Almond, coconut and oat milk make great options.

Do they make a London fog latte at Starbucks? They sure do! Starbucks uses the London Fog concentrate from Tazo in their drinks. While this is a great alternative, I think steeping tea gives this drink a better flavor.

Do you have any other Starbucks copycat drink recipes? I sure do! I love a good copycat coffee drink! Some of my favorite (and most popular!) Starbucks copycats are:

• Iced white chocolate mocha
• Iced chai latte– similar to this London fog!
• Caramel frappuccino
• Iced vanilla latte
• Caramel brulee latte – a winter favorite!

If you’re like me – you want a delicious cup of coffee QUICK in the mornings. I love being able to make copycat coffee drinks at home, but some of them take a little longer that I’d like. That’s one of the things that I love about this maple cinnamon latte – it’s super quick so you can have your morning Joe in no time!

Maple Cinnamon Latte

If you’ve been around awhile, you may know that my all time favorite copycat drink is the cinnamon dolce latte. This maple cinnamon version tastes similar but with a sweeter aftertaste due to the maple. It is an espresso based drink that utilizes maple syrup to sweeten it. You will love this latte because:

• it uses simple, everyday ingredients
• it’s easy to make
• cheaper than going to the coffee house
• tastes amazing

What is a latte? A latte is a coffee drink made with steamed milk and espresso. Check out all my other latte recipes here.

Ingredients needed

With most homemade coffee drinks, you only need a few common ingredients to whip up a delicious caffeinated beverage. To make this maple cinnamon latte you will need:

• Milk
• Espresso
• Maple syrup
• Vanilla extract
• Cinnamon

Milk – You can use your favorite milk or milk alternative here to make it dairy free. I love using heavy cream in my lattes because it makes it taste like melted ice cream!

Espresso – Use a high quality espresso for your lattes. If you don’t have an espresso machine you can use instant espresso or hot coffee.

Maple syrup – Your favorite maple syrup will work here. We always try to use local maple syrup as it’s similar to honey and helps with allergies! Double win!

Vanilla extract – Store bought or homemade work here.

Cinnamon – You need a pinch of ground cinnamon for this latte.

How to make a maple cinnamon latte

There are only a few steps to make this latte. Brew, mix, warm and froth. Let’s break down how to make this maple cinnamon latte a little bit more.

Step 1: Make the espresso. Brew your espresso shot. Don’t have an espresso maker? Use a cup of hot coffee or instant espresso instead! This is my favorite instant espresso for coffee. Pour it in a coffee cup or mug.

Step 2: Add sweetener. Add in the maple syrup, cinnamon and vanilla extract to the hot espresso or coffee. Stir to combine.

Step 3: Warm and froth the milk. In a saucepan, warm the milk over medium heat. Stop it before it starts to boil. Remove from heat and use a milk frother to add air into the milk and make it fluffy.

Step 4: Add milk. Pour the frothed milk over the coffee drink. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and enjoy.

Recipe FAQs

What does this latte taste like? If you have ever had a cinnamon dolce latte, it tastes very similar to that! It’s almost like a snickerdoodle in coffee form!

What kind of coffee do I need? I always recommend espresso or a high quality coffee. The better the coffee the more it will taste like one of those fancy Starbucks drinks.

Can I make it dairy free? You sure can! Substitute the milk for your favorite non-dairy milk. Oat, almond or coconut milk would be great in place of the cows milk.

What can I pair with my cinnamon maple latte? Any breakfast treat would make a great addition to this latte! May I suggest:

• Banana oatmeal breakfast cookies
• Breakfast tater tot casserole
• Homemade lemon loaf
• Bacon egg bites
• Donut holes

I’m not sure about you – but we love white chocolate in our house! I have always been a fan, but in the past few years even my kids are asking for it more. Which makes me so happy! We can all enjoy the deliciousness of white chocolate together!

What is white chocolate mousse?

I’ll start by saying that mousse is a decadent dessert that is light and airy due to being whipped to incorporate air bubbles into the liquid components. This white chocolate variety is similar to a classic milk chocolate mousse but uses white chocolate instead. It’s great served on its own but we love mixing in raspberries or strawberries in our white chocolate mousse.

You are going to love this white mousse recipe because:

• it using simple ingredients
• it’s easy to make
• you can customize it with your favorite fruit

Homemade white chocolate mousse ingredients

The great thing about homemade mouse is that although it’s decadent, it’s a simple dessert to make it home. I bet you even have most of the ingredients in your fridge or pantry. To make homemade white chocolate mousse you will need:

• white chocolate
• heavy cream
• sugar
• vanilla extract
• raspberries
• lemon juice

White chocolate – You can use a bar or chips for this recipe. The bar you will need to chop up and the chips you just need to melt.

Heavy cream – Can be found in the dairy aisle near the half ‘n half. Save the rest for some homemade whipped cream!

Sugar – Any type of sugar will work for this mousse. Want to make it low carb? Try a keto sweetener like Besti!

Vanilla extract – I always suggest getting a high quality vanilla extract for dessert recipes. You can also easily make your own homemade vanilla extra that is much better quality than most store bought brands.

Raspberries – Fresh or frozen will work.

Lemon – You will need the juice of one lemon for this mousse.

How to make white chocolate mousse with raspberries

Once you have gathered all your ingredients (exact amounts needed are in the recipe card below), you will also want to grab a saucepan, two heat proof bowls, measuring cups and spoons and a silicone spatula. A handheld or stand mixer also help, but are not required.

Step 1: Prepare the raspberries. Start by preparing the raspberry layer first so you can create the mousse while the raspberries are cooking down. Combine the raspberries, lemon juice and sugar in the sauce pan over medium heat.

Step 2: Melt the chocolate. In a microwave safe bowl or using a double boiler, add the white chocolate. If using the microwave, melt in 45 second intervals and stir after each one.

Step 3: Make the whipped cream. Whip together the heavy cream, sugar and vanilla using a handheld or stand mixer. You want soft peaks to form and it’s easier to mix with a mixer but it can be done with a whisk as well.

Step 4: Mix together. Pour the melted white chocolate in the bowl with the whipped cream. Fold in with your silicone spatula to combine them. You don’t want to over mix the mousse.

Step 5: Strain raspberries. Once the raspberries are done and have reduced down, strain out the seeds.

Step 6: Add the white chocolate mousse. Start layering your cups with mousse and raspberries. You can add it to a piping bag to make this part easier.

Step 7: Assemble the mousse. Alternate between white chocolate and raspberries. Top with raspberries and shredded white chocolate.

White chocolate mousse FAQs

This mousse is a wonderful dessert recipe that will delight guests.

What kind of what chocolate do I need?

You need either a white chocolate bar or white chocolate chips. If you use the bar, break or chop it up before melting. I always suggest using a high quality white chocolate for any white chocolate recipes.

Can I use frozen raspberries?

Yes, you can! You can use any frozen fruit you’d like. Frozen fruit will add a few extra minutes to the puree part of the recipe.

What is white chocolate mousse made of?

It’s a wonderful combination of white chocolate chips and heavy whipping cream. Melt, the chocolate, whip the cream, fold it in and you have white chocolate mousse!

Is mousse just whipped cream?

Kind of. You make whipped cream out of the heavy cream and then fold it into the white chocolate. The chocolate adds a density to the airy whipped cream and gives it a unique texture all it’s own.

How to store mousse

Store any leftover mousse in an airtight container in the fridge. If you dish it out in cups, then you can put Saran wrap over the top and keep them in the fridge. Freezing is not recommended.

I love when Starbucks comes out with new seasonal drinks – especially when they are chai ones! I feel like chai drinks are making a comeback so I was super excited to hear about the new pumpkin cream chai latte. It combines some of my favorite things all into one drink!

You will love this fusion drink because:

• It’s easy to make
• Uses simple ingredients
• Saves money by making it at home

What is a pumpkin cream chai latte?

One of my first ever chai drinks was this pumpkin chai latte – almost 13 years ago! I loved the combination of classic pumpkin this the flavors of chai.

This pumpkin cream chai latte combines those two things together, just in a different way. The iced chai latte is sweetened with a basic vanilla syrup, has milk added and then is topped with a pumpkin cream cold foam. Starbucks had become popular for their deliciously addicting cold foam and this fall version is no exception.

Pumpkin cream chai ingredients

The great thing about this drink is that you don’t need a laundry list of ingredients. In fact, the ingredients are pretty basic and you probably already have some in your kitchen. To make a pumpkin cream chai at home you will need:

• chai tea
• vanilla syrup
• milk
• pumpkin puree
• heavy cream
• pumpkin pie spice

Chai tea – There are a couple different options for chai tea when it comes to making lattes at home. You can make it completely from scratch with homemade chai spice mix, you can use pre-made chai tea, or you can even use a chai concentrate. I like using chai tea bags so that I can control the strength of my chai.

Vanilla syrup – You will need a sweetener for the chai tea. If you use the concentrate, double check that it’s not sweetened before adding something else in. I love using my homemade vanilla syrup here, but store bought is great too.

Milk – Any type of milk will work in the chai latte portion of the drink. I like to use heavy cream in mine, but regular milk or your favorite milk alternative works too.

Pumpkin puree – A small amount of pumpkin puree will be needed to make the pumpkin cream. Save the rest for another yummy pumpkin recipe.

Heavy cream – This makes the best cold foam! Half and half can be used but won’t be as creamy.

Pumpkin pie spice – Pumpkin pie spice is used in the cold foam. Homemade pumpkin pie spice is always great to have on hand.

If you want to make an iced version like I did, you will also need ice.

How to make a Starbucks pumpkin cream chai at home

There are a few easy steps to make the perfect pumpkin cream chai at home. Start by gathering all your ingredients as well as a glass, measuring spoons and a milk frother.

Step 1: Brew your chai. If you are using tea bags, brew and steep your chai. Mix in your vanilla syrup while it’s hot. Allow to cool if you want to make an iced version.

Step 2: Add your milk. Pour your chai mixture over ice and then add your milk. Take a minute to enjoy the chai swirls and then mix it all together.

Step 3: Make the pumpkin cream. In a small glass, add the heavy cream, pumpkin, pumpkin pie spice and vanilla syrup. Use your milk frother to whip it together. You want it to be thinner than whipped cream. You can also use a high powdered blender. Sprinkle the top with additional pumpkin pie spice.

FAQS about pumpkin cream chai latte

How do you order a pumpkin chai latte from Starbucks? The great thing about Starbucks adding these drinks to their menu is that they are easy to order! You can ask your barista for a pumpkin cream chai and they will know what you want. Ask for it hot or iced.

What does pumpkin cream chai latte taste like? It’s a combo of a pumpkin spice latte and a chai latte. The chai doesn’t have pumpkin in it so the chai flavor shines through. The pumpkin is in the cold foam on top.

Does pumpkin cream chai latte have coffee? No, there is no coffee in this drink but there is a good amount of caffeine. Chai has about 60mg of caffeine per 8 oz cup.

How do I make pumpkin cream? Pumpkin cream is a almost whipped cream but a little thinner. You can use a milk frother, handheld mixer or even a blender to thicken up the heavy cream mixture.

Can I double the recipe? Sure can! You can double or triple the recipe to make more than 1 drink at a time. I suggest making a pitcher of the chai drink portion and making the pumpkin cream as needed to top the drinks.

Can I make a coffee version? Already got you covered! Try my pumpkin cream cold brew version if you are not a fan of chai or if you want to switch it up.

If there is one drink that my daughter requests from Starbucks the most, it would be the caramel frappuccino. She absolutely loves the sweet drink! I love that I am able to make it at home and save some serious dough.

This delicious homemade caramel frappuccino consists of blended ice, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, caramel sauce, and strongly brewed coffee. The icy coffee beverage is topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce or syrup for added flavor and decadence!

Enjoy this Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino to kickstart your morning or a sweet treat to end the day. 

What Is A Caramel Frappuccino?

Caramel Frappuccino is a chilled coffee-based beverage that’s a popular drink sold by Starbucks. It typically consists of strongly brewed coffee, milk, ice, caramel sauce (or syrup), vanilla extract, and sugar. 

This drink is topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce to be enjoyed as a sweet and creamy treat. Starbucks offers its caramel frappuccino in tall, grande, and venti. 

Making this copycat caramel frappuccino gives you the flexibility of controlling the ingredients used and the quantity to make depending on your personal preferences and needs while tasting just as good as the real thing!

Copycat Caramel Frappuccino Ingredients

• ice
• strongly brewed coffee
• milk
• caramel sauce
• vanilla extract
• whipped cream and any caramel sauce for garnish

Ice – You will need up to 2 cups of ice for your frappuccino. You can use less if you like a thinner frappuccino.

Coffee – You want a strong coffee or even an espresso for this caramel frappuccino. You can use hot coffee or go for a cold brew or even instant espresso.

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

Caramel – You can use store bought caramel sauce or take it up a notch a make a batch of my homemade caramel sauce! Adds some time but it’s totally worth it!

How To Make A Starbucks Caramel Frappuccino At Home 

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients

Add the ice, brewed coffee, milk, caramel sauce, vanilla extract, and sugar to a blender and blend on high speed until smooth. 

Step 2: Serve

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.

Do you have a go-to summer drink? We love a good lemonade, but I feel like this cool lime refresher is everything. It’s so good and super easy to make with a few common ingredients.

Once the water and fresh cucumber-lime has been infused, it’s just a matter of adding the lime juice, sugar, and lime slices. Pour this tasty refresher over a glass of ice and enjoy your very own Starbucks lime refresher!

Ever since Starbucks took the lime refresher off the menu, I knew I had to start making my own, and I’m so glad I did. It’s loaded with the same amount of flavor as the real deal, is budget-friendly, and incredibly easy.

What is a Cool Lime Refresher?

A lime refresher is a drink that typically contains lime juice (or lime flavoring) mixed with water and sweetened with sugar or a sweetener of preference. They are served immediately once mixed over ice to be enjoyed chilled.

Depending on the recipe, lime refreshers can include additional ingredients such as fresh fruit and herbs. I’ve added fresh mint and cucumber to my copycat Starbucks lime refresher. 

Starbucks Lime Refresher Ingredients

• 0.25 cups of mint
• 3-4 limes
• 0.5 cups cucumber
• 2 cups of water
• 1 tbsp. of brown sugar
• 1 cups of ice

Ingredient Notes

Mint – You will need fresh mint for this recipe. You can find it in the produce area of most grocery stores. You only need a little, so save the rest for some homemade mint chocolate chip ice cream!

Limes – Fresh limes are needed for this lime refresher. I do not suggest using lime concentrate here.

Brown Sugar – Feel free to use regular brown sugar or a brown sugar substitute.

How to Make a Cool Lime Refresher at Home

Step 1: Wash and chop the mint finely, peel the cucumber and cut it into small cubes, and cut circles from part of the lime.

Step 2: Place a combination of cucumber and mint in a jug with water and allow it to infuse for 15-20 minutes. 

Step 3: Squeeze lime juice into the infused mixture. Strain through a sieve and add the sweetener. 

Step 4: Add ice to each glass, lime slices, and mint leaves. Serve!

Recipe FAQs

Did Starbucks Discontinue the Lime Refresher?

Yes, sadly, Starbucks did discontinue the lime refresher despite it being one of their top refreshers. It was replaced by the Mango Dragonfruit Refresher. 

Is There Caffeine in the Cool Lime Refresher?

In the Starbucks version, there is caffeine. I haven’t included caffeine in this copycat recipe, though. 

Starbucks typically includes caffeine in their refresher drinks in the form green coffee extract, made from unroasted beans. The green bean extract doesn’t leave a bitter taste commonly associated with brewed coffee but you’ll still get a lovely boost of energy. 

Can I Make a Pitcher of It?

Absolutely! Triple the recipe to make enough to serve in a pitcher instead of individual serving glasses. 

Can I Add Different Fruit?

Yes! This lime refresher can be adapted to include other types of fruit too. While it won’t be a lime refresher in the strictest sense, it’s still going to be a deliciously fruity and refreshing summer drink!

Consider adding mango, pineapple, or oranges to this recipe. Other fruit such as raspberries and blackberries will provide a tart and sour taste, while strawberries will add a kick of sweetness. You will need to blend these kinds of fruit if you decide to use them when making a different refresher beverage.
