Starbucks has done it again with another one of their luscious hot beverages that’s perfect when you want to warm up. With my simple recipe for a Copycat Starbucks Vanilla Crème Steamer version, you can do that right at home for a fraction of the cost and in about five minutes. Try this easy-peasy recipe and enjoy the soothing vanilla lusciousness.
Heat the milk to a simmer over a medium heat in a small or medium saucepan. The milk will start to steam with small bubbles around the edges of the pan. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes. Stir so the milk does not come to a boil. Once you see it steam and small bubbles, remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the vanilla extract and vanilla syrup. If you are using granulated sugar, add that along too. Now, whisk the milk mixture for about 15 to 20 seconds. It may get a little frothy, you want that to happen but not to worry if it doesn’t. Pour the steaming milk mixture into two mugs. Top off with whipped topping. Enjoy this warm, smooth, creamy, vanilla crème steamer. Enjoy!
