I can't afford to go to Starbucks everyday for my Venti non-fat latte and I do not have an espresso machine.!

It's actually quite easy to make at home, though you might want to invest in a cheap espresso machine that just does the basics--even the cheapest on the market will get you a higher quality espresso shot than starsucks!. If you do get a machine, all you need to do is mix 1-3 shots of espresso (depending on your preference) with any flavored syrups that you might like (Sterling is my favorite brand of syrup that's made specifically for espresso-based beverages, but there are others such as Torani and Monin)!. Pour that mixture over ice and add nonfat milk and you've got yourself your iced latte!. Now, if you can't afford an espresso machine, you could always attempt to brew especially strong coffee in your regular pot (you could grind the beans finer, use more grounds, less water, etc) but it really won't taste the same!. If you do happen to have a coffeemaker that uses "pods," you might be able to buy espresso pods from the manufacturer!. Your next best options are moka pots or french presses--those will more closely simulate espresso, but it's just not the same!. Espresso is brewed by forcing steam through the grounds, while the other methods use boiling water and gravity, for the most part!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

An acceptable substitute would be to brew a pot of dark roast coffee,put it in a covered container and refrigerate!.

brew about 4 ounces (half a cup) of extra strong coffee in your coffee maker!. fill a large glass about 3/4 full with ice cubes!. pour the coffee over the cubes!. Then fill the rest of the glass with non fat milk!.

I like to make mine with Foldger's chocolate truffel coffe because it adds just a hint of chocolate flavor without all the syrup!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
