Yield serving (16 ounces)

▢ 3 capsules Nespresso Starbucks Blonde Espresso (or 3 light roast espresso shots)
▢ 2 tablespoons chocolate malt powder
▢ 1 cup ice + more to top drink if needed
▢ ¼ cup almond milk + more to taste

Put espresso, chocolate malt powder, and ice into a cocktail shaker. Shake 10 times.
Use 3 Nespresso Starbucks Blonde Espresso pods or pull 3 shots from an espresso machine. No cocktail shaker? If you don’t have a cocktail shaker, use a large jar with a tight lid.
Pour drink into a cup. Add almond milk.
Top off with more ice if needed.

1 shot of espresso = 1 Nespresso espresso capsule
To make a 16 ounce (grande) Starbucks drink, you’ll need 3 Nespresso espresso or ristretto capsules.
With the Vertuo machine capsules, only use espresso capsules and not the coffee capsules that make 7.77 ounces.
There's no need to add simple syrup to this drink unless you like your drink extra sweet since the chocolate malt powder and almond milk both contain sugar.
Starbucks uses a splash of almond milk but feel free to add more to taste.
Instead of almond milk, top off your drink with vanilla sweet cream cold foam!
