To kick off the new year, Starbucks announced a few new menu additions that will appeal to coffee lovers with all tastes, with one noteworthy addition being its Honey Almondmilk Cold Brew.
The flavored cold brew concoction is made using the company's classic slow-steeped cold brew, and combined with natural honey and a touch of almond milk—giving it a light and creamy taste that can be enjoyed in any season. With the use of almond milk, the updated cold brew offering is well-suited to consumers who follow a plant-based diet, or those who are just looking to consume less dairy with their daily coffee.
The Honey Almondmilk Cold Brew joins other new menu additions for the winter, such as the Pistachio Latte and Kale and Portabella Mushroom Sous Vide Egg Bites.
