Honey Almond Milk Cold Brew (Starbucks Copycat)

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

If you love a good honey almond milk cold brew from Starbucks, you're going to be obsessed with how easy it is to make at home. With just three simple ingredients and less than five minutes, you’ll have the perfect refreshing iced coffee—no coffee shop run required.

Cold brew is always a favorite around here, and this combo of smooth coffee, creamy almond milk, and notes of honey is just *chef’s kiss*. It’s sweet, slightly nutty, and seriously so satisfying on a hot Summer day.

You can use store-bought cold brew or make your own.  I’ve got a how-to the bottom of the post if you need it.

Ingredient Notes

This easy Starbucks copycat recipe uses only three simple ingredients, which are easy to find in most grocery stores.

  • Cold Brew - Use your favorite brand of store-bought cold brew or make your own cold brew.  The plus of making your own is you can use your favorite coffee for the perfect flavor.  For a decaf option, use my homemade decaf cold brew recipe.
  • Honey - This is what adds the distinctive taste and natural sweetness that this drink is known and loved for. If you don't have honey on hand, my homemade simple syrup or this honey syrup would be suitable substitutes.
  • Almond Milk - Almond milk is one of my favorite dairy-free milk options and works perfectly for this iced coffee. Use plain almond milk and not vanilla for the most authentic Starbucks flavor.

See the recipe card for ingredient list with measurements.

Variations

  • Vanilla cold brew - Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to your honey almond milk cold brew coffee for a subtle vanilla flavor.
  • Spiced honey almond milk cold brew - For a spicy version of your favorite cold latte, add a sprinkle of cinnamon on top.
  • Honey almond milk nitro cold brew - For a delicious carbonated version, replace the cold brew coffee with nitro coffee.
  • Milk of Choice - Choose another non-dairy milk, like soy milk, coconut milk, or oat milk to change the flavor of this iced coffee drink.
  • Add a foamy topping - Add cold foam to give this drink a little extra pizazz.

How to make a Starbucks Honey Almond Milk Cold Brew at home

This delicious drink is super easy to make and faster than a drive to Starbucks.

  • Step 1: Add equal parts hot water and honey to a small bowl and stir to melt the honey slightly.
  • Step 2: Fill a glass with ice and add the melted honey mixture.
  • Step 3: Fill the glass with your favorite cold brew and top with almond milk.

Easy Homemade Cold Brew Coffee Recipe

Cold brew coffee is the perfect summer drink for a coffee lover like me. Make a large batch of it at home and store it in the fridge for a week's worth of delicious iced lattes.

All you need is 1 cup of finely ground coffee (use your favorite) and 4 cups of filtered water.

  • Step 1: Place the coffee grounds in a large mason jar and gently pour the water over the coffee grounds. Gently stir the mixture to ensure all the coffee grounds are wet.
  • Step 2: Close the jar and place it on the countertop overnight. Ideally, you want it to sit for about 12-24 hours. The longer you leave it, the stronger the coffee will be so it totally depends on your own taste.
  • Step 3: Use a nut milk bag to strain the coffee. You can repeat this more than once to ensure no granules are left. Pour the mixture back into the jar and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Storage

Strain out any ice and transfer the coffee to an airtight container.  I usually use a mason jar.  Store in the refrigerator for 3-5 days. Fill a glass with ice and pour in the coffee when ready to enjoy again.

Recipe FAQs

Is almond milk good in cold brew?

Almond milk pairs perfectly with cold brew coffee. The sweetness from almond milk combines well with the lower acidity of cold brew coffee. Almond milk works well with nitro coffee too.

Does almond milk curdle in cold brew?

Almond milk may curdle in cold brew coffee. Simply give your cold brew coffee a stir to fix the curdled milk.

What does cold brew do to coffee?

Cold brew has a smoother and sweeter taste than regular coffee. Because it isn't exposed to high temperatures, the coffee has less acidity and therefore is less bitter.
