# What You’ll Need:

→ Cold Foam

01 - 1/3 cup heavy cream (cold)
02 - 2 tbsp 2% milk (cold)

02 - Whip the mixture using a handheld milk frother, electric whisk, or shake vigorously in a tightly sealed jar for 30 to 60 seconds until thick, smooth, and doubled in volume.
03 - Gently spoon the cold foam over iced coffee or cold brew and serve immediately.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes five minutes and requires no cooking, just a few shakes or whips to transform your daily coffee.
  • The vanilla foam tastes like a café splurge but costs a fraction of what you'd pay at the counter.
  • It's infinitely customizable—switch the syrup flavor anytime the mood strikes.
02 -
  • Temperature matters more than you'd think—warm cream won't whip properly, so keep everything chilled until the moment you start.
  • If your foam collapses quickly, you've either used ingredients that weren't cold enough or whipped it too gently and for too short a time.
03 -
  • A sealed jar and two minutes of vigorous shaking works just as well as any fancy frother—your arm will be tired, but the foam will be perfect.
  • If you make foam regularly, invest in a small handheld milk frother; it's under ten dollars and saves your arms from the jar method.
