Live playthrough of the fast action dice rolling Kickstarter game Star Fighters Rapid Fire by Alley Cat Games. Back Star Fighters on Kickstarter . About Star Fighters: Rapid Fire combines the excitement of real-time dice rolling with tactical starship combat.

DIY: Copycat Starbucks Recipes (save over $1000/year)!

Posted: 20 Feb 2012 01:15 PM PST

Pin It
Love Starbucks, but hate what it’s doing to your wallet? One year, I added all my drinks up, and it totaled to about $1100. I decided after seeing that, I knew I had to do something to get my addiction under control. What better way to do just that than copy their recipes and make them yourself, right? First things first, though: you’ll want to buy an espresso maker. Don’t let that deter you, though! You can score a $30 one at Amazon.com, like this Mr. Coffee ECM250 4-Cup Espresso/Cappuccino Maker for $36 shipped!

Here are a few of my fave drinks and Copycat Starbucks Recipes:

 

Starbucks Caramel Macchiato Blended (12-oz. tall)

you can substitute the syrups and milk for sugar-free and fat-free to save calories!

  • 2 fluid ounces brewed Starbucks espresso , use Starbucks Original whole bean Espresso coffee ($13.33 each)
  • 8 ice cubes
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons half-and-half
  • 2 tablespoons Torani Vanilla Syrup ($4.94 each)
  • 2 -3 tablespoons of a thick buttery rich caramel syrup (I use Hershey’s)
  • 4 tablespoons Reddi-wip topping , heavy cream version
*Brew your Starbucks double espresso shot first.
*Fill a tall glass with ice – leave about 2″ from the top of the glass.
*Now fill the glass with 1 cup of ice cold whole milk.
*Then pour in your 2 tablespoons of half & half or heavy cream.
*Add 2 tablespoons of Torani Vanilla syrup into the glass,.
*Add 2 fluid ounces of Starbucks brewed espresso shot over the milk.
*Drizzle the 2 tablespoons of thick caramel syrup inside the glass.
*Now top with whipped cream & drizzle a little more caramel syrup on the top.

 

Starbucks Peppermint Mocha (16-oz. grande)

you can substitute the syrups and milk for sugar-free and fat-free to save calories!

*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.

 

Starbucks White Chocolate Mocha (16-oz. grande)

you can substitute the syrups and milk for sugar-free and fat-free to save calories!

*Combine the white chocolate powder as directed on package and pour into a 16 ounce mug. Or, use 6 tbsp. of white chocolate chips (melted on double boiler)
*Add espresso
*Steam milk and add to remainder of cup.
*Garnish with whipped cream.
