Starbucks Syrup Knockoff

I am having a GIVEAWAY !!! Click here to check it out!

I have spawned a generation of coffee drinkers.  I'm not proud of it but I accept it.  The only problem is that it gets expensive every time Miss Beaux wants to drive thru

 the Starbucks after school.

  So we have created our own home version of the popular coffee house to cut down on those outrageous prices. 

We have a Keurig Coffee maker, and a Nesspresso Milk Frother.  It's like having our own private Barista right in our Kitchen. 

 Our latest triumph was this weekend when Miss Beaux was reading her favorite Blog- A Beautiful Mess where she showed you how to make your own syrups for flavored coffees.  We made the Caramel but I will post the other recipes also.

 Here are the ingredients:

2 cups Sugar

2 cups Water

1/2 cup Caramel Syrup

Place the water and sugar in a pan and heat until the sugar dissolves.  Add the syrup and heat through.  When it cools pour it into a cute glass container.

 Vanilla Syrup:

2 cups Sugar

2 cups Water

1/2 teaspoon Vanilla extract

use the same directions as above. (use the clear Vanilla if you can find it)

 Raspberry Syrup

  2 cups Sugar

2 cups Water

1/2 cup fresh raspberries

use the same directions as above but after dissolving the sugar and water add the raspberries after mashing them up a bit.  Allow them to sit for 3-5 minutes and strain before placing in the glass container.

I bought a pair of Oil and Vinegar containers at World Market for $3.99.  That's a great price!  I like to sprinkle cinnamon into my coffee too. 

 These cute shakers were $0.99.

One holds Cinnamon and the other holds Vanilla Sugar : Place a Vanilla Bean in sugar and the flavor will infuse. 

Let's have some Coffee!

And a snack of course!

Or, maybe you need yours to go...

Whichever you choose one thing is sure.... It was made with LOVE here at 

Beaux R'eves!
