Starbucks “Secret Menu” Coffee + Non Coffee Drinks!

Starbucks “Secret Menu” Coffee + Non Coffee Drinks!

Hey humans! I hope you’re having a good day wherever you are! I am an avid coffee drinker, like obsessed. If you’re looking for Starbucks Secret Menu — I got a few favorites up my sleeves for you and tweaks to make it your own!

I love higher temp roasted beans, the flavors, the process of making coffee itself. I’m that person… but I am also that person that can give you ideas for your flavor tastes too!

Shop Local Coffee Beans

While I do prefer to shop at local coffee shops, and I personally purchase my beans locally for my at home coffee… I do understand how easy it is to pop into Starbucks on the go!

Plus it’s fun to just treat yo self!

Here is my favorite locally roasted fresh beans >> Think Well Coffee

Think Well is top favorite because he roasts his beans fresh in house so you can always count on the flavors.

Not into coffee but like tea?

So even if you’re a non coffee drinker, here are some of my favorite recipes that you can order from Starbucks (or make at home!) even when they aren’t on the menu board!

I love a good spicy chai, or even an english brekki (breakfast, for non – new englanders).

Plus I am all for trying non-dairy milk in both my coffee / non-coffee drinks.

Ingredients Needed:
Chai Tea
Oatmilk (Or milk or your choice)
Hot Water
Cinnamon
Nutmeg
Marshmallows *Optional*

You can use chai tea concentrate or just simply buy a box of chai tea right off your grocery store shelf!

Take 1 or 2 tea packets and let it steep in hot water, I’d say about 4-5 ounces or half full in a typical coffee mug.

You can heat your milk in a sauce pan on the stove or with a milk frothier on an espresso machine. Be careful not to scald your milk, plant based or dairy milks have certain temps not to exceed. Typically don’t boil on a stove, or if the cup is hot to touch your milk is ready.

While my tea is steeping in the hot water I like to add marshmallows to melt in the cup for flavor.

Once my tea has had a few minutes I add in my milk.
I tip my cup 45ish degrees and add the milk in a circle to make sure it blends evenly with the tea, and then slowly raise my cup up right as I pour all the milk into the cup.

Top tea with seasons like cinnamon and nutmeg, and enjoy!
