Sweet Memory

Every time when I go to Starbucks, I will order Caramel Macchiato. (焦糖瑪奇朵) Caramel means scorched sugar which is put on Macchiato meaning mark in Italian. How beautiful the name is, and so does it taste.





However, it is different from its name, the origin is very simple. It is said that a coffee maker always forgot the coffee was made for whom and one day he decided use caramel to make a mark on it. Surprisingly, it became a popular coffee nowadays.

The way to make Caramel Macchiato is also simple. First, add some syrup into the bottom of the glass. You can chose to any flavor of syrup you like such as hazelnut or vanilla, and it’s up to you to add how much. Second, add three forth milk in it and other one forth foamed milk. After that, put espresso in it and mark with caramel. See, it is easy to make a cup of Caramel Macchiato.

In fact, someone said that the coffee is invented for those who are afraid of drinking espresso. As a result, they use a little milk, foamed milk, and caramel to make espresso much easier to drink.

Actually, I like Caramel Macchiato very much because espresso has more percentage in it. When you taste the bitter of espresso and the sweet of caramel, they combine together softly and make you think of some memories. It will be a kind of enjoy for me drinking a cup of Caramel Macchiato and reading a novel in Starbucks whole afternoon.


It has different flavors in both hot and cold!
