Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Blended - Tastes Great Cold or Hot

BUZY-LADY's Note:

A rich Starbucks espresso and the rich buttery taste of caramel & creamy milk what could be better. I only use Starbucks original whole bean espresso and grind it to a fine espresso powder and brew it up in my espresso machine. I use the double shot holder on my espresso machine and brew a double shot of espresso. (1 shot is 1 oz- this recipe calls for 2 full ounces of Starbucks espresso). I use a single serve blender for a Blended Caramel Macchiato, if you want a hot beverage just use steamed milk.

This is correct except for the half and half. A grande drink is made with 4 pumps vanilla syrup in the bottom of the cup, add milk and ice (if you have extra shots, reduce to prevent overflow), brew espresso directly on top into cup. The original drink does not come with whip, so you drizzle caramel sauce on top of the espresso.<br/><br/>For a hot drink, just replace the milk and ice with steamed milk. Simple.<br/><br/>As far as the whip cream, it's a combination of the vanilla syrup (8 pumps if you use the dispenser) and cream.<br/><br/>Just a note: You want to add the espresso into whatever drink you're making within 10 seconds of brewing for optimum taste. Also, espresso coffee and actual espresso are not equivalent, so if possible, use an espresso machine.

I am perhaps the biggest Caramel Macchiato lover in the world. I recently moved to a small town from the big city and was so missing Starbucks - because of this drink! SO glad I found your recipe! I actually couldn't get my espresso machine to work with me (first time to try it out, :)) so I brewed Starbucks espresso double strength in my coffee maker. I used about 3/4 cup of that coffee to make this drink, and omitted the half and half and whipped cream. I also used sugar free vanilla syrup. This recipe will help me out a TON! Thank you so much for sharing it!

This tasted just like Starbucks. I can't wait for summertime so I can enjoy it by the air conditioner.
