Why You'll ❤️ This

"Do you love trying to make new coffee recipes as much as I do? This is a must-make recipe to try at home! It's so easy to make and customize to your liking. One of my new favorites for sure!"

Delicious

This is our take on Starbucks honey almond milk cold brew recipe and its sheer coffee perfection! It's a light not-too-sweet taste that is nicely balanced between the cold brew, milk, and honey.

No Drive-Through

This coffee is so easy there is no need to spend your time or money in the drive-through! 🙂 PLUS - you can customize it to your exact taste.

Healthy

Almond milk is non-dairy and honey is an all-natural sweetener and has a lower glycemic index than regular sugar (that means your blood sugar won't spike as fast which is better for you).

Did you know that honey also has anti-inflammatory properties, is anti-bacterial, and has lots of vitamins and minerals that are good for you? It's a guilt-free "indulgence".
