Cold Foam Recipe for Iced Coffee in 5 Minutes

Instructions:

1. Chill your vessel. Place a small glass or metal pitcher in the freezer for 2 minutes. Note: This prevents the cream from warming up while you work.
2. Measure the cream. Pour 3 tbsp heavy whipping cream into the chilled vessel. Stop and smell the fresh, neutral scent of the dairy.
3. Add the milk. Pour in 2 tbsp 2% milk. Note: The milk lightens the density so it’s not just plain whipped cream.
4. Sweeten the base. Add 1 tbsp vanilla syrup. Note the sweet, floral aroma of the vanilla beginning to bloom.
5. Position the frother. Submerge the whisk head of your handheld frother just below the surface of the liquid.
6. Begin frothing. Turn the frother on and move it up and down slightly for 30 seconds until the liquid doubles in volume and looks like silk.
7. Check the consistency. Lift the frother; the foam should slowly drip off like thick ribbons. The aroma should now be a perfect blend of sweet cream and vanilla.
8. Prepare your coffee. Fill a glass with ice and your favorite cold brew or iced coffee.
9. Execute the pour. Gently pour the foam over the back of a spoon onto the coffee. Watch for the foam to sit on top without immediately mixing.
10. Serve immediately. Enjoy the contrast of temperatures and textures before the ice melts.
