Tips

While the ratio for simple sugar syrup is 1 to 2, you can adjust the sugar to taste. However, it will not be syrupy enough if you use less sugar or too thick if you use a lot of sugar.
To really experience what you would get from Starbucks use condensed milk instead of regular milk. That said be careful so you don’t over-sweeten your beverage
