Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 tbsp nonfat milk
  • 1 tbsp heavy cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla syrup
  • 1 pinch fine salt

Method
 

  1. Combine the 3 tbsp nonfat milk, 1 tbsp heavy cream, 1 tsp vanilla syrup, and 1 pinch of fine salt in a small tall jar or frother cup.
  2. Froth with a handheld frother for 20 to 30 seconds, angling the tip near the surface, until the mixture is thick, opaque, and roughly doubled in volume.
  3. Spoon the cold foam over 8 to 12 oz of cold brew or iced coffee, sliding it off the back of a spoon to keep it as a distinct layer, then dust with cinnamon or drizzle with caramel syrup and serve immediately.

Notes

Cold milk frothed better than milk at room temperature, so keep it in the fridge until the moment you use it. This recipe tops one drink; double everything for two. The foam can be made up to 24 hours ahead and stored in a sealed jar in the fridge, but give it a quick re-froth before pouring.
