STARBUCKS WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA CREAM COLD BREW INGREDIENTS

According to the Starbucks official website, the ingredients in a Starbucks macadamia cold cream are:

BREWED COFFEE, ICE, MACADAMIA CREAM [VANILLA SWEET CREAM (CREAM (CREAM, MONO AND DIGLYCERIDES, CARAGEENAN), MILK, VANILLA SYRUP (SUGAR, WATER, NATURAL FLAVORS, POTASSIUM SORBATE, CITRIC ACID)), WHITE CHOCOLATE MOCHA SAUCE (SUGAR, CONDENSED SKIM MILK, COCONUT OIL, COCOA BUTTER, NATURAL FLAVOR, SALT, POTASSIUM SORBATE, MONOGLYCERIDES), MACADAMIA FLAVORED SYRUP (SUGAR, WATER, NATURAL FLAVORS (MACADAMIA NUTS), SALT, POTASSIUM SORBATE, CITRIC ACID)], MACADAMIA FLAVORED SYRUP [SUGAR, WATER, NATURAL FLAVORS (MACADAMIA NUTS), SALT, POTASSIUM SORBATE, CITRIC ACID], TOASTED COOKIE TOPPING [SUGAR, COOKIE CRUMBLES (WHITE RICE FLOUR, OAT FLOUR, SUGAR, PALM OIL, INVERT SUGAR, NATURAL FLAVOR, BAKING SODA), NATURAL FLAVORS, SALT, FRUIT AND VEGETABLE JUICE CONCENTRATE FOR COLOR (APPLE, CARROT), CORN PROTEIN GLAZE, TURMERIC (FOR COLOR)]

Sugar, natural flavors (aka masks over 1000 chemicals and is not regulated), potassium sorbate (preservative), condensed milk (refined sugar), palm oil, invert sugar..... no thank you!

Why add all these ingredients when you can make a perfectly delicious macadamia syrup with just real macadamia nuts, organic unbleached sugar and water? Well because their syrup lasts on the shelf a LOT longer.. but it is not healthy for you at all.

WHAT DOES WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA CREAM COLD BREW TASTE LIKE?

If you're wondering what the Starbucks macadamia cold foam tastes like, I'd describe it as a light and fluffy sweet whipped cream with subtle notes of nut. If you love hazelnuts, macadamia nuts, and Brazil nuts you'll love the flavor of Starbucks macadamia syrup.

STARBUCKS WHITE CHOCOLATE MACADAMIA CREAM COLD BREW RECIPE AT HOME

I'm so happy that Starbucks macadamia came back in 2024, but after I read the ingredient label, I had to make a homemade version!

HOW TO MAKE MACADAMIA SYRUP FOR YOUR COFFEE

Starbucks macadamia syrup is made with sugar, water, natural flavors (macadamia nuts), salt, potassium sorbate, and citric acid.

I wanted to make something a bit more natural. If you avoid sugar entirely, you can easily substitute honey, agave, or even maple syrup. Just keep in mind maple syrup will give it a more brown sugar maple flavor.

My Starbucks Macadamia Syrup Copycat Recipe:

• 1 cup organic cane sugar
• 1 cup filtered water
• 1 cup organic macadamia nuts

Add all 3 ingredients to a small saucepan. Heat on high heat, stirring until you see that the sugar is dissolved. Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 10-15 minutes. Turn off the heat and let your homemade macadamia nut syrup cool before straining.

Letting the syrup cool with the nuts still in it will give you a rich macadamia flavor.

Once your macadamia nut simple syrup is cooled, strain it into a glass jar, cover with a tight fitting lid and store in your fridge up to 2 weeks. You can use it in your macadamia cold brew, desserts, and even cocktails or mocktails!

HOW TO MAKE WHITE CHOCOLATE CREAM COLD FOAM

Starbucks macadamia cold cream is made with cream, mono and diglycerides, carrageenan, milk, sugar, water, natural flavors, potassium sorbate, citric acid, condensed skim milk, coconut oil, cocoa butter, salt, and citric acid.

I made my homemade white chocolate macadamia cold foam with few ingredients as possible and it still tastes just as delicious!

White Chocolate Macadamia Cream Cold Foam Ingredients:

• 2 tablespoons organic heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon flaxseed milk (any milk will work)
• 1 tablespoon macadamia syrup from above
• 1 tablespoon melted white chocolate

Add all 4 ingredients to a jar and use a milk frother to whip till it is thick and foamy. Don't overwhip because cold foam is not as thick as whipped cream.

Pour over your iced cold brew coffee and enjoy!
