I decided to write this post, just to give you a quick idea about my experience with Starbucks and how I came to share their copycat recipes with you.
I worked at Starbucks for 5 years, and during the last year and a half, I was a store manager of a local store. That's why I have extensive knowledge of all the ingredients, recipes, and techniques used to make those lattes, cappuccinos, and frappuccinos you love so much. In addition, I truly have a passion for cooking and replicating recipes, so it was a natural calling to try to create similar recipes at home. I had a lot of requests from friends asking me how to create a Caramel Macchiato, Pumpkin Spice Latte, or Caramel Frappuccino, so I decided to add a section to my blog dedicated to creating delicious Starbucks drinks at home.
Although I enjoyed working there, I left Starbucks in 2015 because I wanted to start a family and my blogging career. I still have a few friends there, who share the latest trends with me and give updates.
If you want to try making Starbucks drinks at home, you have come to the right place. I will teach you how to froth milk, make espresso, and which syrups to use to create tasty Starbucks-inspired drinks at home. Please, feel free to comment and let me know if you'd like to see a specific recipe posted.
Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to get to know me better. I raise a glass of Caramel Latte to you! Cheers!
Hi Tania I just want to tell you THANK YOU for sharing your recipes and taking the time to be an awesome person!!
THANK YOU, for the kind words, Carmen!
Tania, I found your blog when I was searching for a caramel macchiato recipe and have been enjoying it , along with the macchiatos! I was wondering if you have a recipe for my other two favorite Starbucks treats, Peppermint Mocha latte and lemon pound cake? Thanks for sharing your recipes and tips!
Hi Dawn! I am glad you found my site. I don't have the lemon cake recipe, because I am a lousy baker, so I don't even try to take this route. But for the peppermint mocha you'd need to follow my White Mocha recipe (just sub white chocolate chips for dark chocolate) and add some peppermint syrup. You can buy a large bottle of Starbucks peppermint syrup for 28$. This will last you for a LONG time! Let me know if you have any questions!

If you don't want to spend so much on Starbucks syrup, you can definitely go with other brands and save a few dollars. 🙂
