Take a look at the photos below as I go through each step of putting it together! The process of making a caramel macchiato includes making the caramel syrup, steaming the milk, frothing the milk, making the espresso and combining it in a layered fashion. There’s a few simple steps for this recipe. You don’t have to dish $5 for a creamy and caramel-y macchiato at your conveniently located coffee shop when your sweet tooth hits! The Process of Making a Macchiato But this caramel macchiato is a little different in that it uses espresso, frothed and steamed milk, caramel syrup and ribbons of buttery caramel drizzle on top made the perfect hot coffee drink for those with a mega sweet tooth.
I also made this when a friend of mine was over, and it got the verified check mark from a former barista herself! Now, a traditional macchiato contains espresso with steamed milk, then frothed milk on top. Starbucks also uses pumps of their own vanilla syrup inside the drink, whereas McDonalds uses caramel syrup inside as I’ve done in this recipe today. The main difference in the way Starbucks and McDonalds makes it is the type of coffee beans they use (McDonalds uses Arabica beans, Starbucks uses their Espresso Roast). It’s better than Starbucks.Īnd if you are looking for more tasty coffee drinks, try my Pumpkin Spice Latte (Two Ways!), Eggnog Latte, Easy Homemade Mocha, and White Chocolate Peppermint Mocha.Today we are making a copycat coffee recipe: McDonalds Caramel Macchiato Recipe! They describe the McCafe Hot Caramel Macchiato on their website as featuring a few simple ingredients: “rich, dark-roast espresso served with steamed whole milk, mixed with sweet caramel syrup.” (Specifically, they use two espresso shots, but it’s not quite clear how many tablespoons of caramel syrup). The finished product has a robust caramel flavor but isn’t too artificially sweet the way so many caramel creamers are. So if you keep heavy cream on hand (which I do), you can make these any time you feel like it (which I definitely shouldn’t). 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.
