drop the way you make sweet cream (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Comprehensive-Big357
everyone at my store has a different way and i know that there's an actual recipe but people at my store complain about it so everyone has invented their own way

my shift makes it super thick bc he likes it like yogurt and someone else does .5 of vanilla, 2% to .75 and then heavy cream the rest

Our store does it:
1 liter of heavy cream in a 2 liter pitcher.
350 ml of vanilla syrup measured in foaming pitcher then added to the 2 liter.
600 ml of 2% in foaming pitcher then added to 2 liter and then mix it all.
This is our store recipe that everyone is supposed to follow.

that's how mine does it but the partners always complain that that way is bad
Barista_Mama_92 3 points 1y ago
It definitely doesn't foam/thicken very well but I'm not about to argue with the sm lol 😆
skyellemusic 2 points 1y ago
are you foaming the sweet cream while it's cold? I know i've had lots of problems with it foaming after using a pitcher that another partner left out as opposed to using a fresh cold pitcher from the fridge.
Barista_Mama_92 1 points 1y ago
Yeah we're all pretty on top of keeping it in the fridges because we've been getting coached over it. So I know I personally have been foaming it cold. Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the issue. 😅

It's bad if you do it directly into a 2L tetra pitcher. If you do it into the 3.8L round pitcher and whisk it, then pour it into the 2L you should be fine. Big caveat: you get your dairy locally so you're at the mercy of your 2% and heavy creams available, unfortunately

I haven’t worked at Starbucks in about 2 years now, but if I remember correctly, the way we did it was in clean steaming pitcher add 13 pumps of vanilla, 2% to the bottom line, and heavy whipping cream to the max line. Add it to a carafe. Repeat until carafe is full.

Regardless everyone should be following the recipe and shouldn’t be serving their “own way” to the customers lol

I remember when it first came out and you'd toss most of the one carafe you made that morning at the end of the night. My cafe store goes through at least 8 two liter pitchers a day.

1 bottle of vanilla, 3000mL of heavy cream, 1800mL of 2% for a cube

And for the Americans 🤣-1 bottle of Vanilla-3Liters Heavy cream and 2 Quarts of 2%. (we used to do 2L of 2% but it was a little too runny)

at my store we make it in a cold brew toddy with 2 bottles of vanilla, 3 half gallon containers of heavy cream, and a gallon of 2%

The standard at my store is hc to the 1L line in the 2L tea pitcher, 300 ml of vanilla syrup (measured in cold foam pitcher) then 2% to the top but I believe theres an app on the ipad that should tell the correct recipe

I believe its 350ml of vanilla

In a milk steaming pitcher, 13 pumps of vanilla, then depending on who's working that day either 2% to the bottom line and heavy cream to the max, or heavy cream to the top line and 2% to the max.
