Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 tablespoon light brown sugar, packed
  • 1 tablespoon hot water
  • ¼ cup cold heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons 2% milk

Method
 

  1. Phase 1: Create the Syrup Base
  2. Stir together the light brown sugar and hot water in a small cup or bowl until fully dissolved.
  3. Allow the syrup to cool slightly before proceeding to the next step.
  4. Phase 2: Combine and Whip
  5. Pour the cold heavy cream and 2% milk into the cooled brown sugar syrup.
  6. Use a handheld frother, a small blender, or a French press to whip the mixture until it becomes light and creamy.
  7. Whip only until the mixture is frothy and pourable; avoid overwhipping.
  8. Phase 3: Serve
  9. Spoon or pour the finished brown sugar cold foam over your favorite iced coffee, cold brew, or iced espresso.
  10. Enjoy by sipping as is or mixing gently with a straw for a fully integrated flavor experience.

Notes

Ensure the heavy cream is very cold for the best frothing results.
Whole milk can be substituted for 2% milk.
For a thicker foam, use slightly less milk.
For a less sweet foam, reduce the brown sugar slightly.
