Brown Sugar Cold Foam

Meet your new coffee BFF: Brown Sugar Cold Foam. It’s like a fluffy cloud that moonlights as a barista, whispering “I got you, buddy” to your iced coffee. Skip the café line (and the side-eye from the person judging your third visit today). Let’s turn your kitchen into a foam factory.

What You’re Making:

Sweet, velvety foam that sits atop iced coffee like a tiny caramel hat. No fancy machines needed—just a jar, a spoon, and the will to impress yourself.

Ingredients (Makes 1 serving):

Steps:

  1. Play Mad Scientist: In a small jar, combine heavy cream, milk, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Secure the lid.
  2. Shake It Like a Polaroid Picture: Shake the jar vigorously for 30 seconds. Pretend you’re winning a dance-off. Stop when the mix thickens (should coat the jar like a lazy syrup).
  3. Foam Check: Remove the lid. Swirl the jar. If it looks like melted ice cream, you’ve won. If not, shake 10 more seconds.
  4. Assemble the Masterpiece: Pour cold brew or iced coffee into a glass. Spoon the foam on top. Watch it float like a sugary dream.
