Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (or 1 tablespoon vanilla extract plus 1 tablespoon sugar)
Instructions
- Combine the 2% milk, heavy cream, and vanilla syrup in a mixing bowl.
- Use an electric hand mixer or a milk frother to whip the mixture on high speed.
- Whip for 1 to 3 minutes until the mixture thickens and forms soft peaks. If using a hand whisk, this may take 5 to 7 minutes.
- Stop mixing when the foam is airy, creamy, and holds its shape slightly but is still pourable.
- Pour your cold brew or iced coffee into a glass.
- Gently spoon or pour the vanilla sweet cream cold foam over the top of the beverage.
Notes
- Using a combination of 2% milk and heavy cream provides the best texture, mimicking the commercial version.
- If you do not have an electric mixer, use a French press plunger vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to create the foam.
- Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to match your preferred sweetness level.
