By this point in the semester, you’re probably feeling a little sluggish. You may have woken up to your alarm, face flat on your textbook from a late-night study sesh, with barely enough time to brush your hair before your 8 a.m. zoom meet. We’ve all been there. But not to worry, this new drink from Starbucks is the perfect pick-me-up for your busy schedule.
A newer addition to the Starbucks menu, the cold brew with almond milk foam is a must-have for the fall season. This drink has a subtle fall flavor and a burst of energy to help you through that late-afternoon slump. It also has the option to add either dark cocoa powder or cinnamon, so you can customize this drink to fit your taste.
For those who don’t know, cold brew coffee is made by soaking coffee beans in water that’s cool, or room temperature, for an extended period of time. It’s this long soaking period that gives cold brew it’s crisp, deep coffee flavor we know and love so well. This certainly remains true for the cold brew with almond milk foam.
In addition to the delicious brew, this drink is topped with extra ice, and obviously, the almond milk foam. Whether you’re vegan or just prefer your milk dairy-free, this is a light and delicious addition to your daily dose of liquid gold. Depending on what size you order, this drink contains between 160 to 365mg of caffeine, packing a powerful punch to get you through the day.
I would highly recommend this fun twist on the classic cold brew. Whether you’re in need of a boost or just want to switch up your coffee order, this drink is definitely worth a go. Top it off with cocoa or cinnamon, or, treat yourself by asking your barista for an extra flavor pump of vanilla or mocha syrup. You deserve it.
