FAQs:
Is this PSL as sweet as the Starbucks version?
This recipe is crafted to mirror the iconic Starbucks flavor, but you can always adjust the maple syrup to your liking!
What type of milk works best for a creamy PSL?
While any milk can be used, oat milk or full-fat cow's milk tend to give a creamier texture.
Can I use strong brewed coffee instead of espresso?
Yes, if you don’t have espresso on hand, you can substitute it with ½ cup of strong brewed coffee.
How can I make my PSL frothier?
Ensuring your milk is adequately warm and using the Elixir Mixer on speed 2 should give a nice froth. However, the type of milk used can also impact frothiness, with full-fat cow's milk generally producing the most froth.
Can I make a larger batch for a gathering?
Absolutely! Simply multiply the ingredients by the number of servings you desire and follow the same steps.
