Ill admit, we spend more money at Starbucks than we probably should. When we lived in Manhattan I stopped in nearly twice a day with my little baby girl and would also try to find things both of us could enjoy. Over time I got to know the secret kids menu. A few things were in plain sight, but a lot of things were not. For example, one Mom taught me how to order a raspberry Italian soda, another let me in on the secret babycinno. I already knew about vanilla steamers but was happy to rediscover them just in time to introduce them to my daughter. Here are seven delicious drinks that you could order for your children at Starbucks that are all caffeine free. Ive also included easy recipes for recreating the recipes successfully, and more cheaply, at home!
Caramel Apple CiderCaramel apple cider is regular cider warmed up and drizzled with a touch of caramel and whipped cream. This apple treat is terrific for kids and easy to replicate at home!

Homemade Italian SodasFor a simple kids treat ask the barista to add a shot of Italian syrup to a cup with ice. Then pour in one of the little bottles of Pellegrino for an instant Italian soda! If you want to get adventurous with flavors try making your own simple syrups at home and creating new, interesting sodas that are just as fun as the ones at Starbucks.

BabycinnoThe "babycinno" is the new chic drink around Brooklyn these days. To order one for your child simply ask for his or her favorite milk (cow, soy, other) to be steamed until completely frothy and topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon or chocolate!

Sweetened with notes of vanilla and a topping of whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon. If you can't make it to Starbucks, you can also make it at home. It is even great for dessert!
