Stay-at-Home Starbucks

Today I think I finished perfecting my raspberry mocha: fill the bottom of a mug with way more chocolate syrup than you'd think, add a generous amount of raspberry syrup (maybe 1/4 of the amount of chocolate), pour in half a mug of extra strong coffee (1.5 x the usual ratio of coffee to water), and fill the rest of the mug with warm milk. The key seems to be an imprudent amount of chocolate.

Sounds good. Do you perhaps make a decaff version?

I now know where to come, in a few months, for all my stay-at-home Starbucks idea needs!

Sounds DIVINE.

I don't drink much coffee but occasionally I'll make myself a chocolate milk. It's amazing how long you need to squeeze the bottle to get the milk to turn sufficiently dark.
