Be your own barista

How to contain your addiction without attending an SA (Starbucks Anonymous) meeting.

It’s a part of your daily routine. You need it. You’ll go crazy without it. You don’t want to, but you need to face it. You are addicted. There’s no need denying it — without that venti double-shot extra-whip mocha Frappuccino, you might just drop dead.

Even if you are aware that this addiction is completely unhealthy in so many aspects, we both know you have no intentions to stop. Well, you don’t have to give up your guilty pleasure entirely, but it would be a smart idea to make a few sacrifices in order to save yourself from the total destruction of your health and your funds.

By creating your own homemade Starbucks drinks, you will save a considerable amount of pocket change and the precious time wasted standing in line. You will also be able to personalize your drinks without having to worry about reciting out your laundry list of add-ins. But the best part is, your name will no longer be spelled wrong.

Below are some of the most popular Starbucks recipes to get you started. So get out your measuring cups and spoons and get to work — there’s a new barista in town.
