Ingredients
  

Cold Brew Base
  • 1 cup cold brew coffee unsweetened
  • 1 cup ice cubed
  • 1 tbsp caramel syrup optional, for base
Salted Caramel Cold Foam
  • 0.25 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1 tbsp milk whole or 2%
  • 1 tbsp caramel sauce plus extra for drizzle
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt flaky is best

Equipment

  • Handheld Milk Frother
  • Tall Glass
  • Measuring spoons

Method
 

  1. Drizzle caramel sauce along the inside of a tall glass.
  2. Fill the glass with ice and pour in the cold brew coffee. Stir in syrup if using.
  3. In a separate small container, combine heavy cream, milk, caramel sauce, vanilla, and salt.
  4. Use a handheld frother to whip the mixture for 15-30 seconds until thick and foamy but still pourable.
  5. Pour the cold foam gently over the iced coffee.
  6. Top with an extra drizzle of caramel and a pinch of sea salt. Serve immediately.

Notes

For a dairy-free version, use barista-blend oat milk or coconut cream. Adjust sweetness by adding more or less caramel sauce.
