Starbucks Coffee 1-Liter Starbucks Syrups – Classic Syrup with Pump, Classic - 4 ounces espresso
- 12 ounces steamed milk
- whipped cream
- red or green sugar crystals
Directions:
- Combine 3 Tbsp Baking Cocoa with 3 Tbsp warm water to make into a rich syrup. Pour into a 16 ounce mug.
- Add espresso
- Add Peppermint syrup.
- Steam milk and add to remainder of cup.
- Garnish with whipped cream and sugar crystals.
How to make Espresso
- You don’t need an expensive machine, a $35 machine such as the Mr. Coffee ECM250 4-Cup Espresso/ Cappuccino Maker
works fine.
- Put water into carafe up to band and put into machine.
- Put espresso into filter head and pack down well.
- Turn on and brew until carafe fills to 4 cup line that way there is still enough water in machine to steam milk.
- Switch to steam mode and steam milk (if you do not have a frothing pitcher you can use a 12 oz ceramic mug will work filled half way with milk but takes 2 fill ups to make one serving of this recipe).
