NOTES
The sugar cookie syrup is easy to make at home using only 6 ingredients: water, white sugar, brown sugar, vanilla extract, almond extract, and butter extract.
If you prefer your drinks less sweet, use 2 tablespoons of syrup instead of 3 tablespoons.
An easy way to make Starbucks Blonde roast espresso at home is by using a Nespresso machine and Starbucks Blonde roast espresso capsules.
If you don’t have a way to make espresso at home, use Starbucks Blonde instant coffee. Combine 1 tablespoon of instant coffee and ¼ cup hot water to replace the 2 shots of espresso in the recipe.
The standard Starbucks recipe uses unsweetened almond milk, but you can use any type of milk you want. Oat milk or regular milk will make the drink creamier.
