This summer I decided to give cold foam at home a try. While we had more leisurely days at home for summer break, I wanted to come up with my own coffee shop treat to get me through all the splash pad and lego building days.
I found a simple recipe with a ratio of 1-2-3 and added my own flavor spins inspired by some of my favorite Starbucks drinks. It does not disappoint and is perhaps one of the highlights of my day!
I love a berry matcha. For this one I used Trader Joe's matcha latte powder with a raspberry or strawberry cold foam flavored with jam.
A vanilla iced latte with more berry cold foam (strawberry or raspberry jam).
Another iced latte but with chocolate cold foam. Oh my goodness this is heavenly!

For the cold foam the ratio is one tablespoon of flavored sweetener which can be as easy as vanilla syrup or sugar. Then two tablespoons of milk and three tablespoons of heavy cream.
This makes quite a bit of cold foam which I don't mind! But it can easily be shared between two drinks or you can half it all for a little less. I also have played around with trying half and half to cut back on the amount of heavy cream I use. This recipe is flexible and easily can be adjusted to your liking. But if you want it thick and creamy like the coffee shop, the heavy cream does the trick.
Cold Foam Recipe
1 tablespoon flavored sweetener (flavored syrup, jelly, chocolate sauce)*
2 tablespoons 2% milk
3 tablespoons heavy cream
Add all ingredients in a cup. Using a hand frother, froth until it thickens. Pour over iced drink.
*For flavored syrups I like Torani. For jelly I like Bonne Maman. And this Torani dark chocolate sauce (that we also use for hot chocolate).
