    Skinny Latte syn question

    Hiya, well its 5 syns for a tall skinny latte in starbucks (free if youre using skimmed milk as your HEA!) so i guess if you are using milk as your HEA, it would only be around 3 syns if you had the caramel in it aswell? Sounds like an excellent way to use your syns!!!! xxx
