Ingredients for the 7 Brew Sugar Cookie Steamer Recipe
Here is everything you need for this 7 Brew Sugar Cookie Steamer recipe. It makes one 16-ounce drink, which is close to a 7 Brew Small. Use coffee-shop style syrups and sauces, the same kind sold for lattes and Italian sodas. A pump from a store syrup bottle is about 1/4 ounce, and a tablespoon is about 1/2 ounce. Change the amounts after your first try to match your taste.
| Ingredient | Amount | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Milk | 1 1/2 cups (12 oz) | Whole milk is creamiest |
| Cupcake syrup | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | Buttery cookie flavor |
| Vanilla syrup | 1/4 oz (1/2 tbsp) | Soft and sweet |
| White chocolate sauce | 1/2 oz (1 tbsp) | Creamy finish |
Tip: Shake warm milk in a sealed jar for 30 seconds to make foam. No frother needed.
Method
How to Make a 7 Brew Sugar Cookie Steamer at Home
Cocoa and steamers are made on the stove or in the microwave. Warm the milk until it steams, but do not let it boil. Stir in the sauces and syrups until smooth. Top with whipped cream for the full treat. It takes about five minutes.
1. Warm the milk
Heat 1 1/2 cups of milk on the stove or in the microwave until steaming.
2. Stir in the flavors
Whisk in the cupcake syrup, vanilla syrup and white chocolate sauce until smooth.
3. Pour into a mug
Pour carefully into a large mug.
4. Top it off

Heat the milk until it steams but does not boil. Whisk in the white chocolate first so it melts. Then add the syrups and foam the milk. Top with whipped cream and colorful sprinkles. Serve it with a real sugar cookie on the side.
Avoid these
Common Mistakes When Making a Sugar Cookie Steamer
- Too much syrup: start small, because you can always add more.
- Warm ingredients: they melt the ice and water the drink down.
- Skipping the stir: syrup sinks, so the last sips taste too sweet.
- Wrong cup size: a 16 oz cup keeps the flavor balance right.
For a chocolate drink, try our Smores Cocoa recipe. The Birthday Cake Shake recipe uses the same cupcake flavor. See every steamer on our 7 Brew full menu. More cozy picks are in our holiday drinks guide.
