Almond milk is not only a good option when you are lactose intolerant but also a great low carbohydrate, low calorie, and high vitamin and mineral content substitute for dairy milk.

Why Is Cold Brew with Almond Milk the Better Option?

Almond milk is not as strong as regular milk, but it still adds a pleasant creamy flavor to the frappuccino. However, the texture will be slightly different, icier, and smoother.

You might also freeze your cold brew coffee and almond milk into ice cubes to achieve a less frosty feel. You may also add regular ice to the cold brew and almond milk. Freezing the milk and coffee produces less hard ice, resulting in a smoother and creamier Frappuccino.

Which Coffee Is The Best For Making a Cold Brew Coffee?

Making cold brew coffee at home is simple and inexpensive!

High-quality cold brew coffee is made by selecting high-quality coffee beans. When brewing cold brew at home, I recommend using your favorite coffee (since you already know you like it!). Cold-brew mixes from different roasters are also an excellent choice.

When I make my cold brew, I use a local medium roast coffee.

The most important thing to remember is that coarsely ground coffee must be used to produce cold brew coffee. Coarse ground coffee beans make filtration easier when your brew time is up, and it also adds to less bitter coffee.
