As most people know, i love Starbucks! If i had my way in life i would own a Starbucks so i could practically live there to get my drinks handed to me on my whim ;-) However, and sadly, i do not own a Starbucks so i have to pay just like everyone else. Recently my husband left his nice steady paying job... for a less steady paying job to be his own boss. We support him 100% in his choice; however, my Starbucks budget went out the window! And i am now forced (forced seems like a harsh word, but it seems to work in my mind lol) to get my favorite drink(s) once a week instead of every single day.I have adjusted to making my own tea and my own drinks so much that i am now searching around for recipes to keep making my own at home and get it to the point of "Starbucks perfect". It still doesn't beat walking in the door and them making it for me, but i am saving a lot of money.
