Honey almondmilk cold brew calories

Honey almondmilk cold brew coffee has 74 calories. Most calories come from the added honey, and the rest comes from almond milk.

Coffee itself doesn’t have any calories, so if you decide you want to use a different kind of milk or milk alternative to make this coffee recipe, you can use the following indications to calculate the number of calories:

• 1 tbsp of honey will add 64 calories to your cold brew coffee.
• 1/4 cup of almond milk is good for 10 calories.

If you decide you want to switch out the almond milk, retract the 10 calories from the total and add the calories from the milk of choice.

Do you feel like the coffee is not sweet enough? Feel free to add a bit more honey to your coffee drink. If you add an additional tablespoon of honey, it will add 64 calories to the total calories.

How to make cold brew coffee

There is much to be said for making your own cold brew at home.

There’s nothing more refreshing than a cup of cold brew after a long day of working or running errands. It doesn’t have to be a hassle to make your own cold brew from home, though.

Down below, you’ll learn some easy steps that you can take to make a delicious cold brew at home with the ingredients you already have on hand. You’ll need the following ingredients to make cold brew coffee:

• Coarsely ground coffee beans (80 grams)
• Cold tap water (800 grams)

I like to use a 1:10 coffee to water ratio to make cold brew coffee at home. I found that this created the best flavored cold brew coffee that you can drink as is or use in coffee recipes like this one.

Coarsely ground coffee works best as this extracts all the coffee flavor over a longer period, like the 15 hours I’ll mention below. The grind size of the coffee beans looks like this:

I’ll be using the coffee and water I’ve mentioned above to make my cold brew coffee. This amount will fit perfectly into a French press, and this will work great to store the coffee for the upcoming hours.

You can also store your cold brew coffee in a large container or large mug. I like to use a French press, as this comes equipped with a plunger that makes it a bit easier to filter the cold brew coffee after steeping.

If you want to make cold brew the fastest way possible, I suggest using a cold brew maker. This cold brew maker works great, as it’s equipped with a filter where you put the ground coffee in.

After steeping for 15 hours, you can simply remove the filter, empty it, clean it, and you’re left with a clean cold brew that you can instantly use to make amazing coffee recipes. If you’re interested, you can check it out here:

Follow the next steps to make your cold brew coffee from scratch:

1. Add your ground coffee beans to a container, large mug, or French press.
2. Pour the cold water on top.
3. Stir this coffee and water mixture until all coffee grounds are equally wetted.
4. Cover the container or French press with plastic wrap.
5. Set this aside on your kitchen counter for the next 15 hours.
6. After 15 hours, place the plunger of your French press on top and press down. It’ll leave you with clean cold brew coffee.
7. If you’re using a container to store the coffee in, grab a sieve and a cheesecloth or kitchen towel. Place the kitchen towel into the sieve and grab another container. Strain the coffee through your homemade filter system.
8. Now you’re left with amazing tasting cold brew coffee that you can use in the recipe listed above. You’ll love it.
9. You can store any leftover cold brew coffee in the refrigerator for the next five days. Make sure to store it sealed for the best outcome.

As you might’ve noticed from the steps listed above, cold brew coffee is really easy to make once you’ve ground your coffee beans. It’s just putting it together in a large container, stirring it, and then letting it steep. It’s amazing.
