Ingredients
Cold Foam Base
- 1/2 cup milk (whole milk recommended for frothiness)
- 1/4 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and chopped
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup or sweetener of choice
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and hull fresh strawberries, then chop them into small pieces to ensure they blend smoothly into the foam.
- Combine Ingredients: In a blender or a frother pitcher, add the milk, chopped strawberries, simple syrup, and vanilla extract if using.
- Blend or Froth: Blend the mixture on high speed for about 30 seconds or use a handheld milk frother to whip the ingredients until light, frothy, and well combined. The foam should be airy and fluffy.
- Serve: Pour over your iced coffee or preferred cold beverage immediately, using a spoon to hold back the foam initially and then topping your drink with the strawberry cold foam.
- Optional Garnish: Garnish with a small slice of strawberry or a light dusting of powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and presentation.
Notes
- Use whole milk or 2% milk for best frothing results; non-dairy milks may not froth as well.
- Simple syrup can be replaced with honey, agave, or any sweetener to taste.
- Consume immediately for the best texture and flavor.
- Freezing leftover foam is not recommended as it will lose its texture.
- Adjust the strawberry quantity for a stronger or milder fruit flavor based on preference.
