Ingredients
Scale
Cold Brew Base
- 8 oz cold brew coffee
- 1–2 tbsp vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (enough to fill a large cup)
Salted Caramel Cream Foam
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp 2% milk
- 1 tbsp caramel syrup
- 1/8 tsp salt
Instructions
- Prepare the Cold Brew Base: Pour 8 oz of cold brew coffee into a large cup filled with ice. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup depending on your preferred sweetness level, then stir well to combine and chill.
- Make the Salted Caramel Foam: In a separate cup, combine 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of 2% milk, 1 tablespoon of caramel syrup, and 1/8 teaspoon of salt. Use a hand frother to froth the mixture vigorously until it becomes thick, creamy, and slightly aerated, forming a dense foam.
- Assemble the Drink: Gently pour the salted caramel cream foam over the prepared cold brew base, creating a layered effect. Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of smooth cold brew and rich salted caramel foam.
Notes
- Adjust vanilla syrup amount to customize sweetness.
- You can substitute 2% milk with your preferred milk alternative, but it may affect the foam texture.
- For a stronger salted caramel flavor, drizzle extra caramel syrup on top before serving.
- Using fresh cold brew ensures the best flavor; homemade or store-bought works well.
- A hand frother is ideal for creating the perfect foam, but an electric frother or blender can also be used.
