This tastes just like Starbucks! I used a stove top Bialetti espresso maker and an Aerolatte battery operated whisk with some warmed up milk. Milk can also be heated on the stove, on medium to slow boil, and whisked 30 seconds with similar results. I used 1% milk without any problem. I did, however, find that the full recipe would not fit in my mugs. I had to divide the recipe between 2. Starbucks sells their large bottles of syrup for $7-$8 with tax in any flavors, regular or sugar-free, by asking. There is also a popular recipe on-line for caramel machiato that explains how to make the syrup. It also works well. I personally, though, prefer just the milk and the espresso. So, next time I will just use those two ingredients with the ratios below for 2 cups. However, if you are looking for a Starbucks clone, type recipe, try it as written with even adding a little sprayed whipped cream on top.

Awesome recipe. I like to use Coffeemate Warm Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Creamer to replace 1/4 cup of the milk. It gives it a deliciously sweet taste and tastes like an expensive coffeehouse drink!

Great basic recipe. I made mine into a caramel macchiato with caramel coffee syrup, whipped cream, and caramel drizzled on across the top. I put a fresh raspberry on top and it dropped to the bottom of my cup and the flavors released into the drink so it was a creamy caramel raspberry flavor.

Longing for a peppermint mocha latte with the closest Starbucks an hour away I found this recipe and customized it for my current craving. I used very strong coffee since I don't have an espresso machine and added a drop of peppermint extract and three tsp of cocoa powder to my simple syrup. Perfect!

Love this recipe, but makes way too much for me. I adjust everything down by 1/4 or so. I've tried with both the homemade vanilla syrup and store-bought. Both are just as good as expensive coffee houses.

Made just as the recipe stated. Also took the suggestion of another reveiwer and made a vanilla-flavored syrup and our lattes tasted just like the 'bucks version! So happy I know how to make these at home now. Oh, for anyone who doesn't know how to make the syrup, I just put some regular sugar in a bowl and fill it with enough water just to cover the sugar (about 4 tablespoons of sugar). Put it in the microwave for about a minute or until the sugar disolves, then add a little vanilla extract. Delicious!

I don't have an espresso machine. I used instant coffee, and I warmed the milk up on the stove. I made a simple syrup and added a bit of vanilla to it. I also added some white chocolate, and marshmallows. I let them dissolve into the coffee. It's yummy! I'll make it again on another cold, and rainy day.
