As many of you probably know... I'm quite the coffee lover. I'm not one of those addicts who can't function if they don't get it, but I enjoy getting it every 2-3 weeks as a treat. My favorite drinks at Starbucks have been decaf soy caramel Macchiato (if I'm in the mood for something warm), or a decaf caramel Frappuccino (if I want something cold). The only problem is that I found that the frappuccinos are SUPER unhealthy. Funny how seeing nutrition facts can make something you once enjoyed sound nasty!
Today I discovered a perfect alternative to the cold icy treat, that also has the bonus of using soy (the frap comes from a mix so they can't substitute) that tastes amazing! It's an iced venti soy decaf caramel macchiato with extra sauce. If you decide to try it you may get a confused or exasperated look from your barista while placing your order, but it's worth it. Oh, and don't forget to stir in the caramel and milk from the top... otherwise you'll get straight coffee until the very end. :P
yum! I'm not a big fan of Starbies , but I may have to hit one soon just to try that.
ReplyDeleteI usually make my own at home, and lately I've been putting real vanilla extract onto the coffee grounds and it comes out with really good flavor.
I'd love to learn how to make it at home... but I'm pretty sure I'd officially become an addict. I'd be curious to learn how you do it though!
