Macchiato ..Don't you will love one!

Sweet Indulgence  ....It is official I have a fatal attraction with Starbucks!!  This my Daily treat!!  

Why I love it..here is why!

The delicious, multi-layered Macchiato begins with milk steamed until it's stretched and smooth to bring out its natural sweetness and is topped by a dense, creamy foam. Then rich espresso is poured over and through the foam, where it mixes with the milk and creates a brown mark on top. Finally, the barista signs their work of art with a sweet drizzle in a crosshatch pattern—making sure you get a little taste of that gooey goodness with every sip.

OMG!  what not to love!!
