Equipment

1 Handheld Frother or Shaker
1 Frothing Pitcher or Small Bowl

Ingredients

½ cup Heavy Cream
¼ cup 2% Milk or Oat Milk
1 tbsp Vanilla Syrup see our Small Batch Vanilla Syrup
1 pinch Salt optional

Instructions

Add heavy cream, milk, vanilla syrup, and salt to a cold container (recommend frothing pitcher or shaker).
Froth using a handheld frother for 15 to 25 seconds until thickened but still pourable. If you don’t have a handheld frother (you should get one, they are cheap) you can use a shaker like my video or mason jar with a lid.
Spoon or pour directly over your desired beverage. It works great with iced coffee, cold brew, or iced espresso.

Ingredient Notes

Heavy cream provides the fat necessary for stable foam. Lower fat substitutes will not hold air long enough to float.

2% Milk or oat milk thins the cream just enough to keep the foam pourable. Oat milk works well if you prefer a dairy-lighter option.

I originally used our vanilla extract in this recipe (including on the recipe video), but I quickly discovered that it adds flavor, but it does not add the right sweetness. This is where many recipes fall short, especially in cold applications.
