My daughter and I make homemade Starbucks all of the time. It saves us time from running to Starbucks and also saves us money. Our favorites are our CopyCat Starbucks Strawberries & Cream Frappuccino and also our CopyCat Starbucks Passion Tea Lemonade. Since Starbucks released some of their secret menu items, we have been trying them all. Then we make our favorites at home.

The cotton candy was the first one we were anxious to try. We were curious if it would really taste like cotton candy. To our surprise, it has a hint of  the flavors you would find in a big bag of cotton candy. The secret to achieving the flavors is raspberry syrup which we knew we could make at home.

During the summer months, cold drinks are a must for us. Come fall, we really like to make CopyCat Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice Cider. There is never much of a need to spend $4 on a drink. I can make everyone at home a drink for the same cost.
