Ingredients

Scale

Cold Foam Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tbsp milk (any type, including almond milk)
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Play Mad Scientist: In a small jar, combine heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, and a pinch of cinnamon if using. Secure the lid tightly to prepare for shaking.
  2. Shake It Like a Polaroid Picture: Shake the jar vigorously for about 30 seconds. The mixture should thicken and coat the inside of the jar like a syrup, signaling the foam is forming.
  3. Foam Check: Remove the lid and swirl the mixture. If it resembles melted ice cream, the foam is ready. If not, reseal the jar and shake for an additional 10 seconds.
  4. Assemble the Masterpiece: Pour your cold brew or iced coffee into a glass and carefully spoon the cold foam on top. Enjoy the rich, creamy foam floating elegantly over your drink.

Notes

  • Use brown sugar, not granulated sugar, to achieve the best texture and flavor in the foam.
  • The pinch of cinnamon is optional but adds a delightful warmth and complexity to the foam.
  • Any kind of milk can be used, including plant-based options like almond milk, depending on dietary preference.
  • Shake vigorously to ensure the foam forms properly; insufficient shaking can result in a thin, unsatisfactory topping.
  • For best results, use fresh cold brew or chilled coffee as your base.
