How to Make Cold Foam at Home, just like you’d get at a coffee shop, but for a fraction of the cost. Cold foam is perfect for topping your favorite iced coffee, hot coffee, or tea drinks. It adds a creamy flavor and texture to your drinks, and it’s so popular right now!

Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cream or milk dairy or plant-based as desired
- 1 teaspoon simple syrup or another liquid sweetener, optional
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract or other extract, spice, or flavor of choice, optional
Instructions
Mason jar
- Add milk, syrup, and extract to a mason jar, place the lid on tightly, and shake vigorously until thick and foamed. Make sure the mason jar or container is at double the volume of the liquid ingredients to give it room to aerate.
frother
- Alternatively, use a tall glass or jar and place the milk frother or immersion blender whisk into the glass, allowing the whisk portion to submerge fully. Turn on the frother and blend until the it starts to thicken, or about 20 seconds.
French Press
- Pour the ingredients into the pitcher of a French press, plunge the lid down repeatedly until the milk begins to foam.
blender
- You can also use a large regular blender or a smaller smoothie blender like a Nutribullet. Add all the ingredients to the pitcher and blend until it’s foamy and increased in volume.
Pour the cold foam over your favorite drink.
Notes
Be sure to use cold milk straight from the fridge for the best frothing.
If you make it and let it sit while pour your coffee, it may begin to separate into a foam layer on top and a milky layer underneath. If it does separate, you can easily whisk it back together before pouring. But I like to make it last just before serving the drink so it doesn’t separate.
If you have any leftovers, pour it into a mason jar with a lid and store it in the fridge for up to three days. Before serving, give the jar a few vigorous shakes until it's foamy again.
