Make Them
Even Better.
A few small tricks that take your homemade Starbucks drinks from good to genuinely great.
Use Coffee Ice Cubes
Freeze leftover espresso into ice cubes. When you use these in iced drinks the coffee never gets watered down as they melt. A simple trick that makes every iced drink taste better.
Cold Foam Secret
The key to great cold foam is using cold heavy cream, not milk. Froth it with just a small pump of vanilla syrup for 20 to 30 seconds. It should be thick enough to pour slowly and sit on top of your drink.
Measure Your Syrups
Starbucks uses standard pump sizes. One pump equals roughly 7.5ml of syrup. Most drinks use 2 to 4 pumps. Start with 2 and adjust to taste. This is how you get consistently great results every single time.
