Ingredients
Cold Foam Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp heavy cream, cold (30g)
- 2 Tbsp milk of choice, cold (30g) (nonfat milk recommended)
- 1 Tbsp strawberry jam (6g)
- 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract (2g)
- Pinch fine salt (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the ingredients: Gather 2 tablespoons of cold heavy cream, 2 tablespoons of cold milk, 1 tablespoon of strawberry jam, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste or extract, and an optional pinch of fine salt for flavor balancing.
- Aerate the mixture: Pour all the ingredients into a tall glass or sealable jar. Use a milk frother to aerate the mixture until it slightly increases in volume and becomes thicker yet still pourable. Alternatively, shake vigorously in a sealed jar or briefly blend in a blender if a frother is unavailable. Be careful not to overwhip to maintain a light, pourable texture.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the freshly made strawberry cold foam on top of your favorite iced coffee or tea. Serve immediately for the best consistency and flavor.
Notes
- Using a milk frother produces the best texture, but shaking or blending also work.
- Do not overwhip the foam; it should remain pourable and not stiff.
- This cold foam is best served fresh and is not recommended for making ahead as it will lose consistency.
- The recipe can be doubled or tripled as needed.
- Use cold ingredients to achieve proper aeration and foam stability.
