Ingredients
Cold Brew Coffee
- 3/4 cup cold brew coffee
- 1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Strawberry Foam
- 1 tablespoon strawberry syrup
- 1/2 cup half and half (or milk)
Other
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Half fill your glass with ice cubes to keep the drink refreshingly chilled and ready for the coffee.
- Add cold brew coffee: Pour 3/4 cup cold brew coffee into the glass, ensuring to leave some space at the top to accommodate the strawberry foam.
- Add vanilla essence: Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla bean paste to the cold brew coffee for a subtle, sweet aroma and flavor.
- Make strawberry foam: In a small jug, combine 1/2 cup half and half (or milk) with 1 tablespoon strawberry syrup. If using a handheld frother, stir to combine; if using an electric milk frother, pour ingredients directly into the device.
- Froth the mixture: Froth the strawberry milk mixture until it becomes light and foamy, which should take about 1 minute.
- Top the coffee: Gently pour the strawberry cold foam over your cold brew coffee to create a layered and creamy effect.
- Serve and enjoy: Your Strawberry Foam Cold Brew is ready to be enjoyed immediately for a deliciously fruity and refreshing drink.
Notes
- You can substitute the half and half with any milk of your choice; almond or oat milk work well for a dairy-free version.
- If you do not have vanilla bean paste, vanilla extract can be used as a substitute.
- For a more intense strawberry flavor, add extra strawberry syrup to the foam or drizzle some on top.
- Use freshly brewed cold brew coffee for the best taste, or prepare your own at home by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for 12-24 hours.
- The frothing step is essential to achieving the signature foam texture; skip it only if you prefer a simple iced strawberry coffee.
