Carmel Macchiato Recipe

April 14th, 2009 | Category: Food

My favorite drink from Starbucks is the Carmel Macchiato. Since my dad has an espresso/coffee maker I decided to search around the internet to find a recipe that was close to how the one from Starbucks tastes. Here is a good one that I found:

  • 1/2 cup of espresso (Most espresso cups have a 2 and 4 on it, you want to make enough to fill to the 2 line. This measures out to a 1/2 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup (I use Torani French Vanilla)
  • 8 0z cold milk (I use fat free but if you would like whole that is fine too)
  • Smucker Caramel topping
  • Ice
  • 16 0z cup

First make you espresso. While your espresso is brewing, in a 16 oz cup add 2 tablespoons of the vanilla syrup, 8oz cold milk, and ice. You want a lot of ice so I usually fill the cup 3/4 of the way with ice after I put the syrup and milk in the cup. After the espresso is done slowly pour it over the ice. Drizzle with caramel topping. And enjoy! :)

You can also make this hot by just not adding the ice and using frothed milk.
