You Can Make Starbucks Cold Foam At Home With These Easy Recipes
This salted caramel recipe looks *so* good.
Starbucks certainly has plenty of fan-favorite offerings to choose from, including its classic coffees and cold brews. Of course, one of the most beloved add-ons for chilly sips is Starbucks Cold Foam, which instantly adds some creamy froth to any beverage. If you’re looking to whip up a cold foam copycat at home, it’s super simple and only requires a few ingredients. Here’s how to make Starbucks cold foam to upgrade your morning pick-me-ups.
In case you need a refresher on Starbucks Cold Foam, which was introduced in U.S. stores in April 2018, features milk that’s frothed cold (without the use of heat or steam like your usual foam on a latte). The result is a creamy topping that can be used to finish off the chilly beverage of your choice — whether it’s cold brew, nitro coffee, or iced lattes — and it’ll sit right at the top of your sip.
If you’re a cold foam fan, you can make the tasty add-on at home with a few simple steps. Starbucks even published its Vanilla Sweet Cream Cold Foam recipe on its website. Combine 1/4 cup of two-percent milk, 1 teaspoon of powdered sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract in a pourable container. You’ll need to froth the milk mixture either by using a handheld milk frother or by hand. For instructions on how to froth your milk with a whisk, check out Starbucks’ milk frothing guide. Afterwards, Starbucks recommends brewing 8-ounces of Starbucks Breakfast Blend at double strength and pouring the coffee over ice. Finally, pour your frothed milk on top for a totally creamy concoction.
