Ingredients
Cold Foam Ingredients
- 1 Tbsp. Heavy Cream
- 1/2 Cup Whole Milk
- 1 Tsp. Vanilla Extract
- 1 Tbsp. Sugar or 2-3 Pumps Vanilla Syrup
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a French press or jar, mix together the heavy cream, whole milk, vanilla extract, and sugar (or vanilla syrup) until well combined.
- Froth the Cream: If using a French press, move the press handle up and down vigorously until the mixture begins to foam. If using a handheld frother, shake the jar to combine the ingredients, then froth for 15-30 seconds until foamy.
- Optional No-Foam Creamer: For a smooth creamer without foam, simply mix the ingredients in a jar to combine without frothing.
- Serve: Spoon the vanilla sweet cream cold foam over iced coffee, cold brew, espresso, or any drink of your choice and enjoy the creamy, sweet enhancement.
Notes
- For best results, use cold milk and heavy cream straight from the refrigerator.
- You can substitute the sugar with vanilla syrup for a smoother sweetness and easier mixing.
- Adjust the amount of vanilla extract or syrup according to your taste preference.
- This foam is best served fresh as it may lose texture if left out too long.
