Ingredients
Scale
Syrup Base
- 1 tablespoon light brown sugar (packed)
- 1 tablespoon hot water
Cold Foam
- ¼ cup cold heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons 2% milk
Instructions
- Make the Brown Sugar Syrup: In a small cup or bowl, stir together the light brown sugar and hot water until the sugar is fully dissolved. This forms the sweet syrup base. Allow it to cool slightly so it won’t melt the cream when mixed.
- Add Dairy: Pour the cold heavy cream and 2% milk into the cooled syrup. Combining these cold ingredients is key for achieving the perfect texture.
- Whip the Mixture: Use a handheld frother, blender, or French press to whip the mixture until it becomes light and creamy. Aim for a pourable consistency without overwhipping, which could cause it to become too thick or clumpy.
- Serve: Spoon or pour the brown sugar cold foam over iced coffee, cold brew, or iced espresso. Enjoy it as is or use a straw to stir and blend the flavors before sipping.
Notes
- Use cold heavy cream and milk for best frothing results.
- Adjust the sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar as preferred.
- Do not overwhip to keep the foam light and pourable.
- This foam is best served fresh but can be stored refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- Try different milk types to customize flavor and texture.
