I'd say use much less cardomum. It was a bit perfumy but other than that it's delicious. Thanks! -
I had a major allergy attack! I drink it all the time at Starbucks and I never hed this kind of reaction! Im not allergic to any of the ingredients, but the amount and the mixture of this kind of spices is tricky, I recommend to be cautious and to put some note about it! -
This taste almost exactly like Starbucks! I love the fact that by making it at home you can make it fat free, sugar free or caffeine free. I opted for sugar free using splenda instead of the honey, and decided to make it even RICHER by using half 1/2 & 1/2 for the milk. It was outstanding. To give it more of the "coffeeshop" texture, after warming it in a suacepan, I took my stick blender to it to whip it frothy. You have saved me TONS of money...thank you!

Try only 1/4 teaspoon of ground clove, otherwise, tastes perfect, oops, forgot to review: 5 stars!!

I used almond milk and was delicious! Only complaint is "sludge" at bottom of cup even straining through fine strainer.
