Just Say No To Starbucks!
Stars are different in a lot of ways, but one way they're very
similar to the Average Joe and Jane...they love coffee.
Of course with their ginormous salaries a lot of them can afford
the $5, $10 or even $20 a day Java addiction.
But not you Jane in Lima Peru or Joe in Wichita Kansas,
spend that much on coffee 7 days a week and you'll surely
suffer some types of consequences.
So, what do you do?
Do you forgo your coffee habit, (hey a cup or two a day is good for you)
or do you continue reading and learn how to make your own lattes at home?
Okay then, if you chose option no. 2 continue reading...
The following instructions on making your own Lattes at-home comes from
a former Barista and manager who worked at Starbucks for 5 yrs.
The Recipe:
a) Pick The Right Blend-
Use a full-flavored coffee like Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks espresso roast.
It will still taste bold when mixed with milk.
Important tip: Does your coffeemaker have a cone-shaped filter?
Your beans should be ground more finely.
b) Use The Right Ratio-
It's 2 Tbs. ground coffee for every 6 oz. cold filtered water. That'll yield
a robust brew that won't taste bitter.
Important tip: If you like your latte a little weak, brew it using the directions
you see above and then just dilute it with hot water.
c) Warm Up The Milk-
Microwave it just past boiling, about a min. checking at 15-second intervals
so it doesn't boil over.
Important tip: If you like a foamy top. use skim milk--its high-protein content
yields a frothier head.
d) Pour The Perfect Cup-
Slowly pour 3 oz. of milk into 3 oz. coffee (adjust for different sized cups).
Important tip: Like it sweet? Add sugar to the coffee before the milk, since it's
the coffee that needs sweetening.
One last tip:
To keep your beans fresh, store them in an airtight container at
room temperature and not in the Fridge or freezer.
Storing them in the cold makes them moist and they won't taste
as good as a result.
There you have it, another financial tip to help you save for
an education, a car or your retirement.
Good Luck!
