The story behind this absolutely DELISH macchiato is actually a funny one.
My mom (aka my BFJ partner-in-crime in the kitchen) and I wanted to whip up the super popular Instagram-trending Dalgona Coffee, but unfortunately failed because we did not have the right ingredients. With our Dalonga flop, however, we accidentally created something magical. When we realized we were onto something, we recreated the recipe, refined the ingredients and BOOM - macchiato magic.
We were actually SHOCKED at how delicious this turned out…it’s like a homemade Starbucks drink without the $8 price tag. Because it was so good, we decided to share the quick and easy recipe.
Note: a frother and espresso machine are required for this recipe, but DON’T let that intimidate you or turn you away! My mom and I did some research and found some really affordable ones from Amazon (the long-term savings here make the little upfront investment worth it). You can find them linked at the bottom of this page.
