What You Need to Make Starbucks Recipes at Home to Save Thousands – If you’ve ever wondered how to make Starbucks at home, you can get all of the components to save you thousands and be your own barista!

Hi, I’m Caroline and I’m a recovering Starbucks addict. Hi, Caroline. True story though! I used to be a first-thing-in-the-morning-every-day Starbucks drinker. It wasn’t until I realized I was reloading my Starbucks card every week that I realized that there was a problem. And it was a big one.

Now, I can share with you that you can actually make the same delicious DIY Starbucks copycat recipes from your house. But before you go too crazy, there are some things that you can buy that will take your drinks from meh to PERFECT!

Before you go and think who is this crazy lady thinking that she can tell me to replace my beloved Starbucks with these ridiculous claims about knowing how to make Starbucks recipes at home to save thousands, I worked at Starbucks as a barista for 4 years. I know my stuff here, I promise.

What You Need to Make Starbucks Recipes at Home to Save Thousands

Before I share everything that you can get directly from the internet super easy to make Starbucks recipes at home, you should know that Starbucks sells some of their syrups in their stores. Some! Not the seasonal ones, sadly! Just ask to buy one and they’ll ring it up for you.

DIY Starbucks Drink Drizzle

When you make your own Starbucks recipes at home, these Syrup Drizzle Bottles can take a boring latte into an Instagram-worthy treat. I love this 3 pack because it’s got chocolate, white chocolate, and caramel to make any variety of drink you want. You can also get them individually if you want as well.

DIY Starbucks Vanilla Syrup

Starbucks Vanilla syrup (with the pump – that’s a big part of it!) is actually THE cornerstone of almost every classic Starbucks drink out there. In fact, if you only get one thing from this list of what you need to make Starbucks recipes at home to save thousands, this is it. DIY Starbucks Caramel Macchiatos and Copycat Starbucks Vanilla lattes are some of the most popular drinks to make that rely on this syrup. Just make sure to get the pump with the syrup!

Latte milk frother

Copycat Starbucks White Mocha Syrup

White Mocha syrup is one of the syrups that they won’t sell you directly in Starbucks, but this one is SO GOOD! Just don’t forget to get the pump with it!

Copycat Starbucks Mocha syrup

Chocolate syrup here is the same as the white chocolate. Starbucks won’t sell their actual Mocha syrup so this is a close second to theirs. This is another HUGE contributor to making sure that you have exactly what you need to make Starbucks recipes at home to save thousands. The Mocha syrup at Starbucks is used in their DIY Starbucks Hot Chocolates and in their Starbucks copycat mochas, as well as in SO many DIY Starbucks copycat frappuccino recipes, too! Again, get the pump with it!

Reusable Starbucks Coffee Tumbler

Nothing screams “I’m a pro-Starbucks drinker” like the Starbucks Travel Cup. I use this for my DIY Starbucks Copycat Iced Coffee. It can be used for any iced latte or a DIY frappuccino, too. Plus, they’re saving a lot of plastic from being wasted!

DIY Chai Latte Concentrate

This Chai Tea Mix Concentrate is the same that Starbucks uses and is possibly the easiest DIY Starbucks copycat drink recipe to make at home. All you have to do is add cold milk for an iced chai or add frothed milk to make it hot. Yup, it’s that simple!

Blender

A blender that can handle ice really well is exactly what you need to make your own DIY Starbucks copycat frappuccino recipes. Fair warning though, frappuccinos are REALLY tough to make at home because the concentrate that Starbucks uses to thicken up their frappuccinos is basically just corn syrup and sugar. But if you use heavy-fat milk and ice cold coffee and espresso in them, they will be less watery and won’t separate as easily.

Espresso Maker

 A great espresso maker (this one also has a milk steamer for less than $40) is another cornerstone of what you need to make Starbucks recipes at home to save thousands. Espresso is what makes lattes, macchiatos and a lot of other drinks so special. But you don’t need to get the top-of-the-line espresso machines to get great espresso. This one is both a milk frother AND an espresso machine.

Starbucks Espresso Beans

Of course, if you have an espresso machine, you will need Starbucks espresso beans! This is straight from Starbucks. You can even get espresso beans at most Starbucks and have them grind it for you. It’s better if it’s freshly ground daily though, but let’s not get crazy here… we’re trying to save money!

Reusable Travel Mug

If you’re an on-the-go coffee drinker or are usually grabbing a coffee on the way to work or school, the investing is a great travel mug can be HUGE. Especially when you think about what you need to make Starbucks at home to save thousands! Get a cute coffee traveler that you can use every day. It will save you money by bringing your own coffee that will actually stay warm, PLUS you are saving the planet, too! 🙂
