Preparation
- Step 1
In a deep cup or bowl, combine heavy whipping cream, milk and simple syrup.
- Step 2
With a handheld electric milk frother, whisk until almost doubled in volume, about 1 minute. (Alternatively, whisk by hand or with a hand mixer for 3 to 5 minutes or add to a mason jar, cover and shake vigorously for 2 to 3 minutes. These methods will produce a slightly softer, less fluffy foam.)
- Step 3
Pour the cold foam over iced coffee or cold brew.

Use half and half which is a blend of cream and milk. I do it every morning. A simple handheld frother does the trick. I don’t add sweetener but sometimes I add cinnamon or vanilla. A smaller container is key, I use a stainless milk frothing pitcher purchased on Amazon. And for those who are dairy free, I have done this with the “barista” version of oatmilk, several brands make it. It doesn’t hold its foam as long as milk but it still works.
I make low fat sugar free sweet foam with just milk and Purecane brand erythritol almost daily for my homemade cold brews. I am currently using a free frother but they are only like ten dollars. I use 4 0z of milk in a glass measuring cup and half a tsp of "sugar" Froth for like 15-30 seconds pulling the frother up to keep the blade at the top just under the surface but still visible adding in the most air possible until it looks like loose whipped cream. Nothing could be simpler.
Made this this morning and it’s great. I used the ingredients as written and a small milk frother. Better than Starbucks.
1/4 cup Whipping cream, pump of vanilla simple syrup and quick whir with immersion blender—perfect!
The Starbucks version uses vanilla syrup (a bottle of which you can actually buy from Starbucks if you ask at the counter, btw), not simple syrup! But adding a dash of vanilla extract would do the trick, too, I think.
If you dint have simple syrup, you can start with 1/8 teaspoon of vanilla extract and go up to 1/2 teaspoon instead!
