Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon milk (whole, 2%, or skim)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
- 1 cup iced coffee (cold brew, iced espresso, or chilled brewed coffee)
Instructions
- In a small glass or cup, combine the heavy cream, milk, and vanilla syrup.
- Using a handheld milk frother, froth the mixture for 15 to 25 seconds until light, airy, and slightly thickened.
- Avoid over-whipping; the foam should remain smooth and pourable, not stiff.
- Pour the cold foam gently over the iced coffee.
- Serve immediately and enjoy.
Notes
- Best enjoyed immediately after preparation as the foam will deflate over time.
- If you don’t have a frother, shake in a sealed jar or whisk vigorously.
- Whole milk combined with heavy cream gives the best texture and stability.
- Adjust sweetness by increasing or decreasing the syrup.
- Plant-based milk can be used, but the foam may be less creamy.
- Do not store after frothing; always prepare fresh for best results.
- You can prepare flavored syrups in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
