The Best Starbucks Honey Almond Milk Cold Brew Recipe – Copycat

Special Items:

  • Cold Brew Maker – if you want to make your own cold-brew coffee
  • Milk frother – completely optional – Starbucks does not froth their milk for this recipe
  • glass can or mason jar – While it is perfectly acceptable to drink this in any cup, my favorite is to use a clear glass.

Ingredients For Starbucks Honey Almond Milk Cold Brew Recipe:

  • Starbucks Cold Brew Coffee – Or your favorite Cold Brew Recipe
  • Unsweetened Almond Milk – or milk of choice
  • Honey Simple Syrup – super easy to make right in the glass.
  • Ice cubes
  • Optional: Whipped Cream or Cinnamon

How to Make Starbucks Honey Almond Cold Brew Recipe:

  • Drizzle regular honey into the bottom of the glass
  • Pour 1 tablespoon of HOT water into the bottom of the glass
  • Stir until combined – you are basically making a simple syrup with honey instead of sugar – Do not skip this step! Otherwise, the honey will harden in the cold liquid and stay at the bottom.
  • Add ice to the glass
  • Add coffee
  • Top with almond milk – this is where the beauty happens and why you want to use a clear glass
  • If you want to add a layer of cold foam, you can use a milk frother before adding the almond milk.

Almond Milk Alternatives

  • Oat milk
  • Coconut Milk
  • Soy Milk
  • Hemp Milk
  • Cashew Milk

The Best Cold Brew Coffee Recipe

Special Tools:

  • Burr Coffee Grinder – Really needs to be a burr grinder
  • Cold Brew System – I have several Cold Brew Systems and this one is by far my favorite. See Note.

Ingredients:

  • Starbucks Coffee Beans – or coffee beans of your choice
  • Water

Instructions:

  • Grind your coffee Beans COARSLEY – this is very important – If you don’t have a grinder, most local grocery stores have grinders that you can use. If you don’t want to grind your own, then make sure you buy coarse coffee grounds.
  • Combine water and coffee according to the direction of your cold brew system.
  • Steep in the refrigerator for 18-24 hours. – directions don’t typically require that you steep in the refrigerator but I always do
  • Strain or filter coffee according to the directions for your cold brew system. This is your cold brew concentrate. It should be diluted before you drink it.
  • Store your cold brew concentrate in the refrigerator in the carafe.
  • Dilute the concentrate by adding 1 cup of cold brew concentrate to 2-2 1/4 cups of water. Store this in the refrigerator until you are ready to drink it.

See below for videos of how to use each of my favorite Cold Brew Coffee Systems.

During quarantine, we discovered and fell in love with Cold Brew. We always had a pitcher of cold brew in our refrigerator! It was our go-to drink. And I can say without hesitation that homemade is far superior to store-bought, as is the case for most things.

Which Cold Brew System is the Best?

I have several different cold brew systems and my two favorites, in order, are:

1). This Toddy Cold Brew System is my absolute favorite cold brew system. Also, I believe this is the same brand of cold brew system that Starbucks uses. This makes the most delicious cold brew.

2). This Bodum French Press Style Cold Brew System is a great option. We have this at our beach house and it too works great. It is considerably cheaper than the Toddy and that’s always a plus.

Added Bonus: It can also be used to brew tea

What is the Best Ratio for Cold Brew Coffee?

Typically you should use 1 cup of cold brew coffee concentrate to 2 1/4 cups of water depending on how strong you like it.

How long should cold brew steep?

Cold brew should steep for at least 18 to 24 hours

Honey Mixture

Basically, you are making a simple syrup but instead of using white sugar, you use honey. Otherwise, the process is the same. 1:1 ratio of honey to hot water. Stir until it is incorporated.

The best way to do this is right at the bottom of the glass.

If you want to make this vegan, you can replace the honey.
