How to make a Caramel Macchiato
Tasty, addictive and popular drink served in Starbucks is a Starbucks original. Simply it’s a vanilla latte with a bit less vanilla and extra foam, and with caramel sauce drizzled on top. How to make such a sweet drink at home?

Starbucks Caramel Macchiato recipe

For a one mug of this full-of-sugar coffee drink you would need

espresso
milk
vanilla syrup
and caramel topping

To a coffee mug, add vanilla syrup and steamed milk. Top with milk foam and add freshly brewed espresso through the foam. Drizzle with caramel sauce. If you want to make this Starbucks clone super accurate, pick up bottles of the authentic vanilla syrup and caramel sauce sold in Starbucks stores.

Important
The shots of espresso need to be added after the steamed milk. The actual recipe for the Grande Caramel Macchiato is 3 pumps vanilla syrup, add steamed milk with a bit of foam on the top, add double shot of espresso, and then make a criss-cross pattern on top of the foam with the caramel.

yes agreed with timmy……….i am a starbucks employee and ……anyone who knows anything about starbucks knows anything about the drink they purchase would know that it gets one less pump than normal. ie. tall 2 pumps of vanilla, grande 3, and a venti 4…..you should really change that and not make yourself look so ignorant

The above recipe for the drink is correct, it does recieve 3 pumps of vanilla. Coffee cups are always considered grande sizes. so he was correct and although tall gets 2 pumps grande gets 3 and venti gets 4, both the grande and venti drinks get 2 shots of espresso and tall gets one. I have the starbucks barista manual for drinks and he is correct. Actual starbucks drinks have a certain weight to make sure that everything was added correctly. So people at home will just have to tweek according to mug size and taste
