We love a good, holiday Starbucks run, but this year we’ve made it a goal to stop spending money at coffee shops and learning how to make our favorite drinks at home. During the holiday, Starbucks sugar cookie latte always sounds like a good idea, but keeping our goal in mind, we decided to figure out how to make it at home.
Save yourself some bucks this holiday season by making your Sugar Cookie Latte at home. It’s actually way easier than you think! The syrup takes a few minutes to make and then you just add it to your mug before making your espresso and steaming your milk. So simple! You have to try it.
