Crafting the Starbucks Vanilla Double Shot at Home
Did you know about Starbucks’ secret menu item, the Vanilla Double Shot? Today, we’re making this small but intensely flavorful and sweet drink at home. Its concentrated, delightful taste is truly captivating. Let’s create this special treat!
Ingredients- Ice: Generous amount as preferred
- Milk: 100ml (cold)
- Animal Whipping Cream: 40g (cold)
- Espresso: 2 shots (brewed strong)
- Vanilla Syrup: 20g (adjust to taste)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, fill your shaker with a generous amount of ice. More ice will help keep your drink refreshingly cold for longer.
Step 2
Next, pour in 100ml of cold milk. This forms the smooth base of our drink.
Step 3
Add 20g of vanilla syrup for that signature sweet flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.
Step 4
For a rich and creamy texture, add 40g of cold animal whipping cream to the shaker. This will enhance the drink’s luxurious mouthfeel.
Step 5
Pour in 2 freshly brewed, strong shots of espresso. The warmth from the freshly brewed espresso will help the ingredients combine beautifully.
Step 6
Securely close the lid of the shaker. Make sure it’s tightly sealed to prevent any leaks.
Step 7
Shake the shaker vigorously for no more than 10 times. Shaking too long can create excessive foam, so aim for a brisk, controlled shake. Focus on chilling and blending the ingredients.
Step 8
Open the shaker and carefully pour the Vanilla Double Shot into a cup. It’s best to strain out the ice from the shaker and serve the drink without ice from the shaker itself, to enjoy the pure, concentrated flavor. You can add fresh ice to your cup if desired.
Step 9
And there you have it! Your homemade Vanilla Double Shot, rivaling anything from Starbucks. Enjoy this intensely flavored and sweet beverage for a special moment of indulgence.
