Starbucks Drinks to Make at Home

This is an easy diy guide on how to make drinks similar to the Starbucks drinks you drink everyday. You can make them from the comfort of your own home and quit spending money on Starbucks’ too expensive, overpriced lattes and cappuccino drinks.

You will learn how to make Starbucks drinks to make at home such as: frappuccino, cappuccino, and iced coffee.

On reddit you will see many people saying how much money they have saved quitting Starbucks. Hundreds and thousands of dollars per person was spent into their Starbucks coffee habit!

Anyway, besides saving a ton of money, it will give you the option to create new coffees and lattes that aren’t on Starbucks menu. This will be a fun experience!

Starbucks sells over 4 million coffees a day. That is a lot of coffee, but my point is, how fast this coffee shop makes this coffee. They have to have some kind of equipment with ingredients available that whip together iced coffee and frappuccino in seconds/minutes right? Of course they do.

The problem is, people don’t have access to the stuff needed to make Starbucks drinks from their own home. More importantly, they don’t have the syrups and powder flavors to whip together a vanilla latte, or an Iced white chocolate mocha.

Then there is that weird feeling you get after paying for an expensive drink, and coming to the conclusion of a Starbucks employee handing it to you with a smile 5 minutes later: “This was so easy to make. I mean, its coffee after all..”

That is the thing to keep in mind, it’s only coffee. It is coffees, lattes, cappuccino, and frappuccino made with stuff that gives you what you want in a very short time period.

We aren’t going to go into all the talk about how Starbucks got started here, but rather on how to make your own drinks similar to Starbucks drinks for your own convenience to save you money.
