Cold Brew - Use your favorite brand of store-bought cold brew or make your own homemade cold brew.
Honey - This is what adds the distinctive taste and sweetness that this drink is known and loved for. You can substitute the honey with maple syrup or granulated sugar for a sweet almond milk cold brew alternative.
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. But feel free to rather use any other non-dairy milk alternative that you prefer best, such as oat milk or coconut 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 One
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 Two
Close the jar and place it on the countertop overnight. Ideally, you want it to sit for about 14-24 hours. The longer you leave it, the stronger the coffee will be so it totally depends on your own taste.
Step Three
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 Instructions
Store any leftovers in the fridge for 3-5 days. Strain out any ice before storing it to prevent the coffee from getting watered down. Fill a glass with ice and pour in the coffee when ready to enjoy again.
Honey Almond Milk Cold Brew 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.
Non-Dairy Milk Options For Cold Brew
Oat milk - For a sweeter, creamier option, try oat milk. My oat milk lattes are a favorite on the blog!
Soy milk - Slightly more bitter, but still delicious. Add an extra drizzle of honey for more sweetness.
Coconut milk - Use coconut milk for a delicious honey and coconut-flavoured iced latte.
Macadamia milk - One of my ultimate favorites. This sweet and creamy nut milk is the perfect substitution for this honey cold brew latte.
