What You’ll Need
For the Cold Foam:
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp milk (any kind, but whole milk works best)
- 1 tbsp caramel syrup
- ¼ tsp sea salt
For the Cold Brew:
- 1 cup cold brew coffee (store-bought or homemade)
- Ice cubes
For Garnish:
- Extra caramel drizzle
- A pinch of flaky sea salt
Pro Tips
- Use a frother or blender – A handheld milk frother makes the foam super fluffy, but a blender works too!
- Chill your coffee – The colder the cold brew, the better the contrast between coffee and foam.
- Don’t overwhip – You want the foam to be thick but still pourable. If it gets too stiff, add a splash of milk to thin it out.
- Adjust the sweetness – Add more or less caramel syrup depending on your taste!
- Serve immediately – The foam is best right after it’s made, before it starts to sink into the coffee.
Tools You’ll Need
- Tall glass
- Handheld milk frother (or small blender)
- Measuring spoons
- Small mixing cup
- Spoon for drizzling caramel
Substitutions & Variations
- Dairy-Free? Use coconut cream or oat milk instead of heavy cream.
- Extra Sweet? Add an extra drizzle of caramel inside the glass before pouring the coffee.
- Less Sweet? Skip the caramel syrup in the foam and just add a little sea salt for a salted cold foam.
- No Cold Brew? Brew strong coffee, let it cool, and use that instead.
How to Make It
Step 1: Make the Cold Foam
In a small mixing cup, combine ¼ cup heavy cream, 2 tbsp milk, 1 tbsp caramel syrup, and ¼ tsp sea salt. Use a handheld milk frother to whip until thick and creamy, about 20-30 seconds.
Step 2: Prepare the Cold Brew
Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour 1 cup of cold brew coffee over the ice.
Step 3: Add the Cold Foam
Slowly pour the salted caramel cold foam over the cold brew, letting it float on top.
Step 4: Garnish & Serve
Drizzle extra caramel syrup on top and sprinkle with a pinch of flaky sea salt. Enjoy immediately!
Leftovers & Storage
- Cold Brew: Store extra cold brew in the fridge for up to a week.
- Cold Foam: Best made fresh, but you can store it in the fridge for a few hours and re-froth if needed.
