Honey Almondmilk Flat White: Easy Recipe to Make At Home

If you’re a fan of flat whites but are looking for a dairy-free alternative, here’s a yummy recipe for you to try!

This recipe is incredibly simple and can be whipped up in just 5 minutes. All you need is almond milk, coffee, and honey.

This honey almondmilk flat white recipe is quick and easy to make at home with just three ingredients.

Let’s begin!

What is a honey almondmilk flat white?

A honey almond milk flat white is a coffee drink that consists of ristretto shots, steamed almond milk, and honey as the sweetener.

The combination of these ingredients is truly special, and once you’ve tasted it, you’ll love it.

I like to order a flat white when I don’t feel like drinking espresso or ristretto as is. A flat white is made by combining strong coffee (usually ristretto is used) and is topped with foamed milk with the tiniest milk bubbles.

The combination of strong coffee and perfectly steamed milk is fantastic, creating a unique drinking experience.

What ingredients are used in this recipe?

There are just a few ingredients used to make this amazing coffee.

To make a honey almondmilk flat white, you will need these ingredients:

• Almond milk
• Honey
• Two ristretto shots

The ristretto shots are the most important part of this coffee recipe.

It needs to be full of flavor and have just the perfect amount of punch to cut through the sweetness of the almond milk and honey.

To create a perfectly brewed ristretto shot, you can check out the guide to brewing ristretto at home below the recipe card. I’ll show you how to make ristretto shots using an AeroPress.

Honey is a sweetener that adds a unique flavor to coffee. It results in a sweeter, more flavorful coffee that is distinctly different from using sugar or a coffee syrup in your brew.

Did you know you can use honey in your coffee?

I’ve written an article about the possibilities of combining honey with your daily cup of coffee; you can check it out here!

Let me guide you through the recipe, and after that, I’ll tell you about the number of calories in this drink and how to make the perfect ristretto shots at home:

How many calories are in a honey almondmilk flat white?

The honey almondmilk flat white has a total of 108 calories. These calories mainly come from almond milk and honey. The number of calories is made up like this:

• 3/4 cup (0.18 L) of almond milk contains a total of 44 calories.
• A tablespoon of honey contains approximately 64 calories.

If you want to make your coffee a bit sweeter, I suggest using a bit more honey. This will add a bit more calories to your drink, though, so keep this in mind.

How to make ristretto shots at home

Ristretto shots play a significant role in creating delicious coffee recipes in general, and they’re particularly important in this coffee recipe.

Almond milk tastes significantly different from cow’s milk and, therefore, requires a more flavorful and robust coffee that can complement its unique taste.

As I’ve mentioned in the recipe listed above, I like to use two shots of ristretto.

The cup of almond milk needs a strong coffee to cut through the flavors and create a more balanced coffee flavor.

If you want to make a ristretto at home, there are a few options. You can brew two ristretto shots with your espresso machine if you have one.

However, most people don’t have an espresso machine at home, which is why I’ll tell you about a few other options.

You can also brew ristretto shots using your Nespresso or Keurig machine.

Alternatively, you can also use espresso shots in this recipe. Although espresso shots are less punchy and flavorful, you can still make a great coffee from them.

The other options are making coffee with a Moka pot or an AeroPress.

But today, I’ll guide you through the best and easiest way to make ristretto coffee at home, using the AeroPress.

To get started with this technique, finely grind 34 grams of dark or medium roasted coffee beans and follow the next steps to start brewing:

1. Add a fresh filter to the AeroPress filter cap and twist it to your AeroPress cylinder.
2. Place the AeroPress on a stable mug that won’t slip when you press down.
3. Add the finely ground coffee to the cylinder and boil about half a cup of water in the meantime.
4. Set your AeroPress cup on a kitchen scale to measure the water.
5. Add 80 grams of water to the coffee-filled cylinder.
6. Stir for 10 seconds using the stirring wand that came with the AeroPress.
7. After the 10 seconds have passed, remove the stirring wand from the cylinder.
8. Place the second cylinder on top and press down on the AeroPress.
9. Ensure you have a good grip, so the AeroPress will not fly off your cup.
10. Once fully pressed, remove the AeroPress from your coffee cup. You now have an amazing, strong ristretto coffee!

You can use this amount of coffee for the recipe listed above.

Although it’s not the same as brewing espresso or ristretto coffee with an espresso machine, this technique produces remarkably strong coffee that closely resembles the flavor of ristretto shots made with an espresso machine.

It’s essential to clean the AeroPress thoroughly after brewing. This will prolong the life of the coffee brewer!
