Ingredients

• Half & Half: The original recipe uses heavy whipping cream but I like to use half & half instead to make a lighter, healthier version that can be enjoyed more frequently. You can also mix skim milk, low-fat milk, or whole milk with heavy whipping cream as an alternative to using half and half depending on what is readily available.
• Vanilla Paste or Extract: I used the Trader Joe’s Vanilla Bean Paste for this recipe. You are welcome to use another brand or substitute for vanilla extract.
• Maple Syrup: The maple syrup offers a sweet, delicious, rich, caramel-like flavor with notes of vanilla and nutty undertones, adding depth and complexity to the cold foam.
• Cinnamon: I like to add cinnamon for a warm, spicy flavor that can complement the creamy texture of cold foam but it is not necessary for this recipe.
• Sea Salt: Salt is a crucial part of this delicious recipe. It enhances the sweetness of the maple syrup and cream to make the most delicious and satisfying cold foam. You can also use Himalayan Pink Salt.
• Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup (optional): Adds additional sweetness to the cold brew to get a more similar taste to the original recipe, but is absolutely not necessary.
• Starbucks Unsweetened Blonde Roast Cold Brew: You can substitute for your favorite brand of cold brew. You are also welcome to make your own unsweetened cold brew at home using a french press. I most often use a cold brew concentrate such as Chameleon Cold Brew mixed with cold water primarily and substitute for the Starbucks brand when it’s not available. You can alternatively used cold coffee instead of cold brew as well. You can make iced coffee by adding ice to hot coffee.

Equipment

To make this cold brew recipe, you will need some sort of handheld milk frother or milk steamer with a cold foam option. If you don’t have either of those, you can also try an immersion blender. Just make sure you’re using a container with a wide enough to fit the immersion blender.

This is the handheld milk frother I use and love. If you’re in the market for one, click the link above.
