🖤Ingredients:
3/4 cup ice cubes
3/4 cup whole milk (see note)
1 1/2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (see note)
1 shot espresso made with blonde roast coffee (see note)
🖤Instructions:
Place the ice cubes, milk, and vanilla syrup in a 12 ounce glass.
Pull a shot of espresso and pour on top of the milk mixture. Stir and enjoy!
Notes:
🖤Milk: Starbucks uses 2%, but I prefer a more creamy milk, so I use whole milk.
🖤Vanilla Syrup: You can purchase vanilla syrup from the grocery store, or use my Homemade Vanilla Syrup!
🖤Espresso: Starbucks uses their Blonde Espresso Roast, so use a light roast coffee to recreate that taste. You can also use regular espresso roast if you prefer.
If you don't own an espresso machine, make sure to check out my video tutorial for how to make espresso strength coffee without an espresso maker.
🖤Drinks Sizes: This recipe makes approximately the same size as a Starbucks Tall. To make a Grande, use 1 cup milk, 2 shots of espresso, and 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup. To make a Venti, use 1 1/2 cups of milk, 3 shots of espresso, and 3 tablespoons of syrup.

Thank you for your coffee videos! Do you recommend that budget friendly expresso machine ?

I've been testing it out for about 5 months now. I more often use it to make matcha than espresso, but so far I've been pretty impressed! Obviously it won't be as nice as a higher end espresso machine, but if your budget is tight, I think it's a good option!
