A cold foam recipe made with milk, cream, and optional sweeteners. This simple homemade version creates a silky, barista-style topping for iced coffee and cold brew, customizable with flavors like pumpkin, lavender, or chocolate.

  • Total Time: 2 minutes
  • Yield: 1 serving 1x

Ingredients

Scale

1/2 cup cold whole milk (or 2% for lighter foam)

2 tablespoons heavy cream

1 teaspoon vanilla syrup or sweetener of choice (optional)

Pumpkin puree, lavender syrup, or cocoa powder (for variations)

Instructions

  1. Prepare your ingredients: Measure out milk, cream, and sweetener if using. Keep ingredients cold for best results.
  2. Froth the mixture: Use a frother, French press, or a jar to whip the milk and cream until it becomes fluffy and smooth.
  3. Add flavor variations: For pumpkin, add puree and spice; for lavender, add syrup; for chocolate, mix cocoa and maple. Froth again until blended.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Spoon the cold foam over iced coffee or cold brew. Serve immediately for the freshest texture.

Notes

Always use cold ingredients for best results. Avoid over-whipping to keep the foam silky. Cold foam is best served fresh, but can be stored in the fridge for up to 2 days.
