Learn how to make frothy, velvety cold foam at home to elevate your iced coffee experience with customizable flavors and simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup skim milk (or alternative milk, such as oat or almond)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or sweetener of choice
  • 1 tablespoon caramel syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon honey or preferred sweetener

Instructions

  1. Basic Cold Foam: Pour 1/2 cup of skim milk into a microwave-safe cup or bowl. Warm it for 15-20 seconds in the microwave (just until lukewarm, not hot). Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of sugar (or your preferred sweetener). Stir until dissolved. Use a handheld milk frother to blend the mixture for 1-2 minutes until it becomes thick and foamy. If you don’t have a frother, whisk vigorously by hand for about 3-4 minutes. Pour the foam over your iced coffee and enjoy the creamy goo…
  2. Salted Caramel Cold Foam: Warm 1/2 cup of skim milk in the microwave for 15-20 seconds. Stir in 1 tablespoon of caramel syrup and a pinch of sea salt. Froth the mixture using a milk frother or whisk until it’s light and airy. Top your iced coffee with the salted caramel cold foam for an indulgent treat.
  3. Matcha Cold Foam: In a small bowl, whisk 1 teaspoon of matcha powder with a splash of warm milk to create a smooth paste. Add the paste to 1/2 cup of lukewarm skim milk and mix well. Sweeten with 1 teaspoon of honey or your favorite sweetener. Froth the mixture until thick and pour it over an iced matcha latte or coffee.

Notes

[‘For the fluffiest cold foam, make sure your milk is chilled but slightly warmed before frothing.’, ‘If you’re using a milk frother, aim to froth at an angle to incorporate more air into the foam.’, ‘Don’t over-froth! Too much blending can cause the foam to collapse and lose its airy texture.’, ‘Experiment with flavors to find your favorite combinations, such as almond extract or cocoa powder.’, ‘Cold foam is best served fresh and fluffy, straight over iced coffee or tea.’]
