What Is Cold Foam?

Cold foam is a popular dairy product typically poured on top of cold brew coffee. It creates a dramatic effect on not only the appearance of the drink but also the flavor.

Equipment You'll Need

Since you won't have a frother, you can use: - Mason Jar - Whisk - Blender

Using a Mason Jar:

Grab a mason jar (I prefer a 64 ounce one). Add 3.5 ounces of your dairy product of choice and 2 pumps (½ ounce) of simple syrup.

Using A Mason Jar:

Shake the jar for a full 60 seconds, then pour over cold brew coffee.

Add 3.5 ounces of your dairy product of choice and 2 pumps (½ ounce) of simple syrup to a metal or glass bowl. Be sure not to use ceramic dishes as the whisk may scratch them up. Hand whisk for 45 seconds, then pour over cold brew coffee.

Using A Whisk:

Grab your favorite high powered blender. Add 3.5 ounces of your dairy product of choice and 2 pumps (½ ounce) of simple syrup. Blend on high for 45 seconds, then pour over cold brew coffee.
