Be Your Own Barista! 11 Easy Homemade Drinks + Milk Frother Review

Be Your Own Barista Easy Homemade Drinks


It always baffles me how expensive a cup of coffee can be at the local coffee shop, especially when you can make your own at home. There are plenty of awesome, easy copycat drink recipes for things like lattes, cappuccinos, frappuccinos… even fancy hot chocolates!  If you’ve never tried making your own version of your coffee shop favorite before, I highly suggest it. Not only will you be saving yourself some money (which, let’s face it, we could all use as we head into the holiday season), but you’ll also probably have a lot of fun playing around in the kitchen! Below are some of my personal favorite copycat drink recipes to keep me warm during the cold winter months. And you can trust me because I live in Chicago and you know it gets cold up here and I need my homemade mocha to keep me going!
