Starbucks almond milk honey cold brew ingredients

Here is a list of simple ingredients you will need to make this yummy coffee. Please have a look at the recipe card for exact measurements.

• Honey – This is the star of your dish. Use your preferred brand of regular honey. I use organic honey from Costco as it’s my son’s favorite :).
• Water – This is needed to make the pourable honey syrup.
• Almond extract – This will give extra almond flavor, but it is entirely optional. If you don’t have it in the pantry, you may skip it; no need to go grocery shopping for it:).

• Cold brew coffee – This is just coffee made with cold water. You may make your own cold brew coffee at home (I have included the process in a step-by-step recipe) or you can buy Starbucks cold brew concentrate at your local grocery stores or Amazon.
• Almond milk – As the name suggests, this is another star ingredient in the recipe. Use unsweetened, plain almond milk as we are adding honey syrup for sweetness.
• Honey syrup – Prepared using honey syrup, water, and almond extract.
• Ice cubes – To make chilled honey almond milk cold brew.

Any substitute?

Unfortunately, this recipe can not be prepared using sugar-free syrup or any other milk of choice. But if you want, you can replace it with soy milk or coconut milk but please keep in mind that the taste will be little different.

Tools needed

1. Small saucepan – to make honey syrup.

Storing and freezing instructions for Starbucks honey almond milk cold brew recipe

I do not recommend storing the prepared coffee but if you have some leftovers and want to enjoy it later, here are my suggestions. 

Storing instructions

Take out the ice cubes from the coffee and chill for up to four days.

Freezing instructions

Strain the coffee, then pour it into an ice tray to make coffee ice cubes. Freeze for up to two months.

Thawing instructions

When you’re ready to drink, place the coffee ice cubes in a serving glass and defrost in the refrigerator overnight. If you’re in a rush, place it on the kitchen counter. It will melt and turn into liquid. Finally, add the ice cubes and serve straight immediately.

Variations

To prepare the copycat recipe of Starbucks honey almond cold brew coffee, follow the recipe with the listed ingredients. But if you want to add a little twist, here are some ideas.

1. Add maple syrup – Add half a teaspoon of maple syrup while making the honey syrup.
2. Add vanilla extract –  Replace almond extract with a combination of almond extract and vanilla extract. Vanilla pairs beautifully with coffee and it brings up the flavor of almond milk.
3. Use other coffee – After adding honey syrup, add your favorite coffee (decaf is fine too), or shots of espresso and enjoy! Whichever option you choose, make sure you are using strong coffee.

I do not suggest adding any crushed nuts to this recipe because they may clog the straw., so stay away from it :).

Secret tips to make the best Starbucks honey almond milk cold brew recipe

Here my some of my tips to make this Starbucks copycat recipe. 

1. Prepare fresh – You can make the honey syrup or cold brewed coffee ahead of time (up to two weeks), but the end product should always be prepared fresh. Once you’ve got the syrup and coffee, it just takes 1 minute to assemble the coffee. Moreover, ice cubes would dilute the coffee and alter its flavor, which we definitely do not want. Do you agree?
2. Limit the amount of ice –  Some people add additional ice cubes to make it cooler, but keep in mind that this dilutes the coffee and changes the flavor. So, only add what is written down in the recipe.
3. Serve immediately – Serve the coffee as soon as it is ready, since ice cubes may melt, resulting in dilution and flavor change.
4. Adjust syrup quantity – Add more or less honey syrup to your desired level of sweetness.
5. Measure almond extract – Almond extract is strong so add it after measuring it with a measuring spoon. Do not eyeball it otherwise, you will end up adding a lot more than needed. 

FAQ’s

• Can I use instant coffee? Yes, you can use instant coffee, but keep in mind that the flavor will change. In a cup of boiling water, dissolve 2 teaspoon instant coffee. Chill for 30 minutes.
• Can I add vanilla extract? Absolutely, feel free to experiment with various flavors. Check variations for further information.
• Can I double the recipe? Of course, this recipe can be easily doubled. Simply add the the same amount of ingredients to another glass and you’re set to go.
