How do you make a Starbucks almond milk honey flat white?

To prepare the Starbucks almond milk honey flat white at home you’ll need the following ingredients; 1 ½ teaspoon of honey, 4 ounces of almond milk and 2 shots or 2 ounces of brewed espresso.

To prepare this flat white, follow the following directions;

Steam the almond milk and froth it, but do not overdo it. Then, pour the honey into a coffee cup, add your espresso and stir until the honey dissolves perfectly. Pour the steamed and lightly frothed almond milk into the coffee cup and finally, top the flat white with some almond milk foam and enjoy your hot cup of almond milk honey flat white. This recipe produces 1 serving and it takes a maximum of 10 minutes to prepare if you already have all the ingredients ready.

For your flavour to match that of Starbucks, use the Starbucks Blonde Espresso roast coffee when preparing your espresso. Also, note that you can use instant espresso powder for this recipe, however, be sure to reduce the amount of water slightly when preparing the espresso.

When frothing your almond milk, know that microfoam is the secret to a good flat white and to make microfoam, you require a proper steam wand. However, if you have a home espresso maker, you can prepare microfoam with the following steps;

First, clean the steam wand by turning on the steam for about 2 seconds then, fill the steaming pitcher with almond milk just below the spout and bring the steaming pitcher up to the steam wand.

Start the steam and adjust the depth of the wand to a point where you’ll hear the wand producing a soft hissing sound. Continue steaming the milk while swirling the steaming pitcher thoroughly to dissolve any large bubbles. Finally, let the foam settle for about one minute and then pour.

Although not common, you can also make an iced version by letting your espresso sit in the refrigerator in advance, for some minutes, before carrying on with the recipe. It is crucial to know that adding ice cubes to the espresso to cool it will ruin the espresso’s flavour and dilute it. Letting the espresso sit in the fridge for some time is the best way to prepare an iced espresso while maintaining its rich flavours. Proceed to combine the chilled espresso with honey and almond milk in a glass and then top off with microfoam or whipped cream if you’d like and enjoy!

Remember that you can customize this beverage the way you like by using whichever milk you enjoy the most and for the most authentic Starbucks experience, use Starbucks coffee.
