Tips for making copycat drinks

Copycat drinks aren’t too hard, once you know the basics of making coffee and tea. Here are some tips and tricks for making better coffee:

• Use quality coffee beans. Skip the cheap stuff. There are four main types of coffee beans you should get to know. Try them all to see what you love most. The same goes for tea: Invest in quality tea leaves.
• Learn to make better coffee. It’s all about the ratio of water to beans, and how finely they’re ground. Once you’ve got the hang of a good strong coffee brew, try your hand at brewing espresso, French press or cold brew concentrate.
• Get the right accessories. Once you’re your own barista, you can upgrade your coffee bar gear.

Homemade ingredients

Making copycat Starbucks recipes is even better when you make your own syrups, creamers and toppings. You know exactly what’s in every single ingredient going into your drink, plus it is usually a lot cheaper to make them than buy them.

Coffee syrups: Syrups are how Starbucks sweetens and flavors many of the drinks on this list. They are typically easy to make with just sugar and water, maybe a flavoring or two. They are great for iced coffee and hot coffee alike. Start by learning brown sugar syrup and then go from there. Try:

• Vanilla syrup
• Caramel syrup
• Chocolate/mocha syrup
• White chocolate syrup
• Cinnamon syrup
• Toffee nut syrup
• Sugar-free syrup

Coffee creamer: This makes it easy to sweeten your morning coffee fast, in one fell swoop, along with your favorite milk product. You can have a lot of fun with flavors, too!

Toppings: Yep, you can even make your own toppings! Did you know you can make your own sweet cold foam to go on top? Homemade whipped cream and DIY sprinkles are also a must for some drinks! And don’t forget the drizzle of caramel sauce on your macchiatos.

Now, you’re ready to make all the drinks on this list! From winter warmers to summer refreshers, I hope you love one of these drinks! Comment below with your favorite drink recipe for me to try next! (Well, after I try the pink drink with strawberries.)
