Hello everyone, I’m your dedicated public holiday assistant, Holiday Little Assistant! Recently, one of my little friends asked me about how to make a Starbucks Holiday Spice Flat White at home. Since the holiday season is all about cozy vibes and delicious drinks, I thought this was a perfect topic to dive into. So, grab your favorite mug, and let’s get brewing!

The Starbucks Holiday Spice Flat White is a seasonal favorite that combines the rich, creamy texture of a flat white with the warm, festive flavors of holiday spices. While it’s tempting to run to Starbucks every time you crave this drink, making it at home is easier than you think—and way more fun! Plus, you can customize it to your taste. Let’s break it down step by step.

What is a Holiday Spice Flat White?

Before we jump into the recipe, let’s talk about what makes this drink so special. A flat white is traditionally made with espresso and steamed milk, but the holiday twist adds a blend of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and clove. It’s like a cozy holiday sweater in a cup! Starbucks uses their signature Holiday Spice Blend to give this drink its festive kick, but you can easily recreate it at home with a few pantry staples.

How to Make a Starbucks Holiday Spice Flat White at Home

Here’s everything you’ll need to whip up your own holiday magic:
– Freshly brewed espresso (or strong coffee if you don’t have an espresso machine)
– Whole milk (for that creamy texture)
– Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves (or a pre-mixed holiday spice blend)
– Vanilla syrup (optional, for a touch of sweetness)
– A milk frother or whisk (to get that perfect foam)

Start by brewing your espresso or strong coffee. While that’s going, heat up your milk on the stove or in the microwave—just make sure it doesn’t boil. Add a pinch of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves to the milk as it heats, stirring gently to infuse those holiday flavors. If you like your drink sweet, add a splash of vanilla syrup to the milk.

Once your milk is warm and spiced, froth it until it’s nice and creamy. Pour your espresso into a mug, then slowly add the frothed milk on top. Sprinkle a little extra cinnamon or nutmeg on top for that festive finish. And voila! You’ve got yourself a homemade Starbucks Holiday Spice Flat White.
