Ingredients

Scale

Cold Foam Base

  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon milk (whole, 2%, or skim)
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup (homemade or store-bought)

To Serve

  • iced coffee, iced espresso, or cold brew coffee as needed

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a small glass, stir together 3 tablespoons of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of milk, and 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup to create the cold foam base.
  2. Froth the Mixture: Using a handheld frother or an electric hand mixer, froth the cream mixture vigorously for 15 to 25 seconds until it becomes light, airy, and creamy with a foamy texture.
  3. Top Your Coffee: Immediately spoon or gently pour the sweet cream cold foam over your prepared iced coffee or iced espresso, and enjoy the luxurious, sweet, and creamy topping.

Notes

  • Use whole milk for a richer and creamier foam or opt for skim milk for a lighter texture.
  • Adjust the quantity of vanilla syrup to taste if you prefer more or less sweetness.
  • Serve the cold foam immediately to preserve its light and airy texture.
  • Customize by adding other flavored syrups such as caramel or hazelnut for varied flavor profiles.
  • If you don’t have a frother, shake the mixture vigorously in a tightly sealed jar for about 30 seconds to achieve a similar frothy effect.
