I do :). I LOVE Starbucks! And it really annoys me when people put it down and say they don’t like it, or they only go to non-chain coffee houses. Come on get real… it’s the best out there!! If it were not as good as it is then they would not be as big as they are. Ok rant over... so what does this have to do with cooking you might ask. Well if you’re having a lazy Saturday like me and wont get your butt up off the couch to go and get your own Starbucks then you have to figure out how to make it at home.
I have been really into green tea lattes lately, and my favorite corporate coffee makes a mean one! So, like with everything I love I have to figure out how to make it for myself at home. And I have to admit that my do it yourself green tea latte is quite fantastic!!
Here is how I make it. I take a tall glass water glass and fill it with milk (I use non-fat). Leave about 1 inch of room from the top of the glass. Then I heat it in the microwave for 2 minutes. While the milk is heating I get out 3 green tea teabags. When the milk is done I submerge the teabags in the milk and place a small saucer over the top to cover it while it is steeping. I let it steep for a few minutes. The milk will not turn green, so taste it for strength. Then I take the teabags out and squeeze all the liquid from them into the cup. I heat the milk again for about 30 seconds. After that I just ad about 1-2 ounces of French vanilla creamer (the liquid kind that you would put in your coffee), and top with whip cream. Enjoy!!

Yeah. It isn't like Starbucks started out as a chain, it was one coffee shop that got really popular so they went to another place and got popular there and spread from there.
ReplyDeleteThese stuck up "I only shop at non-chain types" seem to have a heavy, green coating of jealousy and coveting all over them.
