Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons cold heavy cream (43 grams)
- 2 tablespoons cold milk (preferably 2%) (28 grams)
- 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup (14 grams)
- 1 cup coffee or espresso beverage of choice (for serving)
Instructions
- In a small jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the cold heavy cream, milk, and vanilla syrup.
- Seal the jar securely.
- Shake vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes until the mixture becomes thick, creamy, and slightly frothy. It should remain soft and pourable.
- Pour the cold foam gently over your iced coffee or espresso drink.
- Serve immediately and enjoy as is, or stir lightly if desired.
Notes
- Best used immediately for ideal texture and consistency.
- Avoid over-shaking to prevent the foam from becoming too stiff or separating.
- Use whole milk for a richer foam or low-fat milk for a lighter version.
- Try flavored syrups like caramel or hazelnut for variation.
- Add a pinch of cinnamon or cocoa powder for extra flavor.
- You can prepare the liquid mixture ahead and refrigerate for up to 2 days before shaking.
- Dairy-free alternatives can be used, but texture may vary.
