You whip up the caramel yourself in five minutes flat. This recipe is both wonderful and terrible because you are not limited by whether or not you have caramel sauce at home to make it. Plus, YOU can control the level of sweetness which is always my biggest beef with Starbucks drinks.Īnd I know this doesn’t technically qualify as an authentic macchiato because it simply uses cream instead of foamed milk and strong black coffee rather than espresso, but Starbucks plurals their panini “paninis,” so they’re not exactly a paragon of Italian authenticity either. I find the homemade flavors a little brighter, a little stronger. To be 100% honest, my Starbucks drink of choice is their white chocolate mocha, but I did try one of their caramel macchiatos just so I could compare the two, and I definitely prefer this one. My mother, being a huge Starbucks fan took one sip and said, “Hey, this is better than Starbucks!” And thus, this post was born. I hate wasting food, so I started putting it on everything, including my mom’s morning coffee. While the family was all together for the holidays, I made caramel sauce for one of our pies and had a ton left over. Some of the recipes I post go through careful planning and consideration before they come forth into the world. The photos in this post have been updated. Easy to make from scratch and absolutely delicious! A completely homemade copycat Starbucks Caramel Macchiato recipe.
