SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE SUGAR COOKIE COLD BREW COLD FOAM

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make this homemade version of Starbucks cold foam (the exact measurements, nutrition information and full recipe are in the printable recipe card below):

• Heavy cream
• Milk – can use milk of choice such as 2% milk, almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, oat milk, etc.
• Homemade sugar cookie syrup – this syrup contains ingredients like brown sugar, almond extract, vanilla extract, and white granulated sugar.
• For the complete sweet cream cold foam drink you will need shots of espresso, milk, the homemade cold foam and holiday sprinkles.

HOW TO MAKE THE COFFEE SHOP COLD FOAM RECIPE

1. In a small mixing bowl or measuring cup, add the heavy cream, milk, and sugar cookie syrup. Mix together with hand held electric milk frother for 30-60 seconds.
2. Spoon the cold foam over your favorite iced coffee, cold brew, or even hot beverages like lattes or hot chocolate.
3. For added holiday flair, sprinkle crushed sugar cookies, cinnamon, or festive sprinkles on top.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR BEST RESULTS

• Use Chilled Ingredients: Cold heavy cream and milk froth more easily and create a better texture for your foam.
• Balance Creaminess: For a thicker foam, use a higher ratio of heavy cream to milk. For a lighter foam, stick with the equal parts recipe.
• Perfect Your Syrup: Make sure your homemade sugar cookie syrup is smooth and fully dissolved for even flavor distribution.
• Froth Like a Pro: A handheld milk frother is ideal, but a whisk or blender can work too. Froth until the mixture forms soft, pillowy peaks.
• Serve Immediately: Cold foam is best served fresh. Once frothed, spoon it onto your drink right away for the ultimate creamy experience.
• Customize the Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar cookie syrup to suit your taste. Add a little extra for a bolder cookie flavor or keep it subtle for a lighter touch.
• Experiment with Garnishes: Crushed cookies, cinnamon, nutmeg, or festive sprinkles add a decorative and flavorful finish.
• Use It Creatively: While it’s perfect for iced coffee and cold brew, don’t stop there! Try it on hot cocoa, chai lattes, or even desserts like pancakes or waffles.

FAQS

CAN I USE STORE-BOUGHT SUGAR COOKIE SYRUP?

Yes! While homemade syrup is delicious, store-bought sugar cookie syrups are a convenient alternative for quick preparation.

CAN I MAKE THE SUGAR COOKIE COLD FOAM AHEAD OF TIME?

Cold foam is best made fresh, as it loses its texture over time. However, you can prep your sugar cookie syrup in advance for quicker assembly.

HOW DO I STORE LEFTOVER SUGAR COOKIE SYRUP?

Store your homemade syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

HOW MANY SHOTS OF ESPRESSO WORK BEST IN THE SUGAR COOKIE COLD FOAM LATTES?

Two shots of espresso provide a strong base for the foam, but you can adjust based on your caffeine preference. Blonde espresso works well too!

HOW DO I AVOID OVER FROTHING?

Froth the foam just until soft peaks form. Over-frothing can cause the texture to become stiff and less creamy.
