Ingredients
Scale
Brown Sugar Syrup
- 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, creating a smooth, sweet syrup base. Allow it to cool slightly before proceeding.
- Combine cream and milk: Pour the cold heavy cream and 2% milk into the cooled brown sugar syrup, mixing them together to prepare for frothing.
- Froth the mixture: Use a handheld frother, blender, or French press to whip the cream and milk mixture until it becomes light, creamy, and slightly frothy. Be careful not to overwhip; the mixture should remain pourable with a smooth texture.
- Serve over iced coffee: Spoon or pour the brown sugar cold foam over your iced coffee, cold brew, or iced espresso. You can sip it as is or use a straw to mix the foam into the drink for a perfect balance of flavor.
Notes
- Do not overwhip the foam; it should be light and pourable, not stiff.
- Use cold cream and milk for best frothing results.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less brown sugar to taste.
- This foam is best consumed fresh to enjoy its creamy texture.
- You can use a handheld milk frother, blender, or French press to achieve the foam.
