Homemade Caramel Macchiato

One of my friends has decided Starbucks Carmel Macchiato is her drink of choice. But with the economy acting so strange with its roller coaster up and downs she's been cutting back on her Starbucks stops. Being the good friend I came up with a solution.

I found this website called Gourmet Sleuth. The person must be a chemist as he or she breaks down recipes so a person can recreate all the drinks and recipes at home.

And the recipes are right on-at least the coffee ones. So I got Jillian the ingredients for her favorite coffee drink including Starbucks Vanilla Syrup and Carmel Sauce, added some illy my favorite Italian espresso and took it over to her house. I also added the recipe in the package.

Jillian was thrilled and so am I. I'm not cooking dinner tonight, Jillian is.

Here's the recipe from Gourmet Sleuth.
