Ingredients
Scale
- 3 Tbsp. heavy cream
- 1 Tbsp. milk (whole, 2%, or skim)
- 1 Tbsp. vanilla syrup (see recipe above or use store-bought)
- iced coffee (iced espresso, cold brew, iced coffee, etc.)
Instructions
- In a small glass, combine heavy cream, milk, and vanilla syrup.
- Froth mixture for 15-25 seconds until light and foamy.
- Serve immediately and pour cold foam over your drink.
Notes
- See above for instructions on how to make vanilla bean syrup at home.
- Storage: Best enjoyed immediately. Top iced coffee with vanilla cold foam and serve immediately. Do not store for later as foam will deflate.
- Ingredient notes: Whole milk and heavy cream create the creamiest foam, but plant-based options like oat or almond milk also work.
- Prep ahead: Make the vanilla simple syrup ahead and it will last a few weeks in the refrigerator. Brew coffee in advance and reheat if needed, but froth milk fresh for the best texture.
- Special tools: Handheld milk frother, vanilla bean paste, vanilla bean syrup, iced coffee glasses.
- Serve with: Iced coffees, cold brew, iced espresso, lattes.
