Classic Caramel Macchiato
Description: A macchiato is my favorite coffee drink. Most of the time I get it with no flavoring. But this drink is sort of a special occasion thing. What they serve at Starbucks is not really a macchiato at all, but a latte. So if you really want to try a macchiato (never had one before) and find out what it’s all about, this is a good choice for you. Of course, if you don’t want the flavorings, just prepare it with a shot or two, and a little foam on top. That’s a macchiato. Hope you enjoy!
