Starbucks Flavor Mix No. 7

I was chatting with our intern last week about Starbucks coffee when I remembered we had an entire post dedicated to "flavor experiments" more than a year ago. It started co'z we were getting bored ordering the same thing over and over that we just HAD to come up with new flavors ourselves! Well I almost forgot we did and for some reason I had this urge to experiment again. So what did I whip up this time? (this one's interesting!)

Iced Soy Caramel Macchiato


Basically, they just substitute Soy Milk for regular milk. It's a Vegan alternative which I suppose is "healthier".

Normally, I only order Caramel Macchiato when I need some serious caffeine boost because it's one of those coffee flavors with a bolder and stronger taste. However, I was so surprised when I tasted the one with Soy and it wasn't strong at all! It was actually creamy, I thought it had no coffee in it. The Soy off set the bitter taste of the coffee and it gave it a lot more dimension. It did however overpower the caramel. I think next time, I should add two more pumps of caramel to make it sweeter, but overall, it worked!

This one has the PK seal of approval! Woot, woot! I will be experimenting on more Soy Milk-based coffee flavors so check back soon! I'm so excited! lol!
