What's your favorite cold foam flavor?
To make cold foam at home, combine 3 tbsp (45 mL) of heavy whipping cream, 2 tbsp (30 mL) of 2% milk or whole milk, and 1 tbsp (15 mL) of the flavored syrup of your choice in a tall glass. Next, use a handheld frother to froth the mixture for about 15-30 seconds, until it’s airy and foamy. Pour the cold foam on top of your iced coffee or cold brew and enjoy!

Here are a few pro tips:
- Make sure your cold ingredients are straight from the fridge. This helps them froth up better.
- If you don’t have a handheld frother, blend the mixture with a regular or immersion blender for 30-60 seconds, or pour your ingredients into a mason jar and shake it vigorously until it turns frothy.
- For a non-dairy version, swap out the heavy cream for full-fat coconut milk or non-dairy cream, and swap out the milk for oat milk or almond milk.
- Don’t be afraid to experiment with your syrup flavors! Vanilla, caramel, hazelnut, pumpkin, peppermint, lavender, and strawberry are all delicious options.
- Add a dash of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warm, spiced flavor.
