Mock Macchiato's

Yahoo for Caramel Macchiatos from Starbucks!

{except their ridicules price}

So I spent {too} many mornings coming up with a recipe to make my own- at home- CHEAP- that taste like Starbucks!

 (And now I like mine much better!)

And because sharing is caring, here's the recipe for YOU!!

Here's what you'll need:

{If you have an espresso machine, that may be easier}

2 Tablespoons Espresso {regular coffee does not work that well}

1/2 cup boiling water

{let that brew in the french press}

I like mine iced so I put 5 or 6 ice cubes in a cup

Fill it up within an inch from the top with Milk

Add 1 Tablespoon {or more if you like sweet} Vanilla Syrup

Once coffee is ready, pour that in the cup

Drizzle with lots of REAL {thick} caramel syrup

[if you use the ice cream kind in a squeeze bottle it's w-a-y sweet and fake tasting...]

Yum-o!

Enjoy with your morning reading...

The roof is shingled, the front door is in, wiring is in...

It's coming right along!

And have you ever played table hockey with {wood} butcher knives and a {wooden} orange?

A new fave around here... thanks to Riley's inventive spirit.

It can get quite wild...
