Salted Maple Cold Foam

The big fall flavors are apple and pumpkin, which are great, but maple is often overlooked. Adding salted maple cold foam on top of drinks brings a rich depth of flavor without being overpowering.

Ingredients

This recipe is straightforward! You need:

• Milk of choice (2% and non-fat diary milk foam the best)
• Maple syrup (I use Trader Joe’s brand, its so good)
• A pinch of kosher salt
• Heavy whipping cream (optional, it creates thicker foam)

How To Make Cold Foam

There are three ways that you can make cold foam.

#1. Shaking all of the ingredients in a jar with a tightly closed lid.

#2. Using a whisk. This takes some arm strength but it’s possible.

#3. Use hand held frother (the easiest way and my favorite way).

#4. Use an electric milk frother. These are fancy and usually have multiple settings for both cold and hot foam. The nice perk about these electric foam machines is that they make very thick foam without the addition of heavy whipping cream for thickness. I do recommend it if you’re into make drinks at home (yay homemade drinks!).

I’m using method #3 in my directions but feel free to use what you have. Now let’s make our amazing frothy cold foam and get our morning going 🙂

Add the milk, heavy cream if using, maple syrup, and salt into a tall glass. Place the hand held frother on the bottom of the glass to avoid splashes. Froth for 30-40 seconds or until the foam thickens.

Add ice to your drink and pour the foam over coffee or tea. Enjoy right away.
