Welcome to your new favorite coffee indulgence! This Honey Almondmilk Cold Brew is a delightful homemade version of a popular Starbucks beverage. Inspired by the growing trend of plant-based milk alternatives and the timeless appeal of cold brew, this recipe combines smooth, robust coffee with the gentle sweetness of honey and the creamy nuttiness of almond milk.
The star of this recipe is the cold brew coffee, made by steeping coarsely ground dark roast beans in cold water for 12-24 hours. This method produces a less acidic, smoother coffee with a naturally sweet undertone. We then enhance this mellow base with a touch of honey for natural sweetness and a generous pour of almond milk for a creamy, nutty finish. The result is a perfectly balanced, refreshing drink that's ideal for warm days or as a pick-me-up any time of year.
