Tips for Making a Copycat Starbucks Coffee at Home

Use an espresso maker to brew espresso or buy it from a coffee shop. Or, to make extra-strong
coffee in a coffeemaker, use 3 to 4 tbsp. ground coffee beans per 1 cup water in the coffeemaker.
You can use whatever milk you like best in this recipe. Try using oat, almond, or coconut milk instead of dairy milk.
One of the best things about making this copycat recipe at home is that you can control the sweetness. If you prefer a less-sweet coffee drink, simply decrease the amount of sugar used.
Get creative with garnishes! This drink is delicious with shaved chocolate, crushed chocolate-covered espresso beans, or cocoa powder on top.
If you want to amp up the dessert factor of the drink, top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream instead of whipped topping.
