Description
Skip the expensive coffee shop and make this delicious Strawberry Cold Foam at home with fresh ingredients, no refined sugar, and no artificial colors or flavors. We start by making a 2-ingredient strawberry simple syrup, then froth it with milk and cream for the perfect foam. Keep a batch of syrup in your fridge so you can make the best iced matcha lattes, cold brews, or Italian sodas all summer long!
Ingredients
For the Strawberry Syrup:
- 4 cups strawberries, chopped
- 1/2 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons water
For 1 Serving of Cold Foam:
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1-2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons of strawberry syrup
Instructions
- To make the syrup: In a small pot, combine all ingredients and heat over medium heat until bubbling. When boiling, reduce to a simmer and cook for 7-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the strawberries are soft. Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a jar or bottle. Store in the fridge until ready to use.
- To make the cold foam: In a tall jar or glass, combine the milk, heavy cream, and syrup. Use a milk frother to whip it to a fluffy light consistency. Adjust quantity of heavy cream to thicken if needed.
- To make the strawberry matcha: In a tall glass filled with ice, start with 1-2 tablespoons of the strawberry syrup, then add ~6 oz milk of choice + brewed matcha, and top with strawberry cold foam!
Notes
You can keep the syrup stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 weeks.
Feel free to adjust the sweetness level to your preference. I would say this syrup is moderately sweet when it's combined with coffee or matcha. If you prefer less sweet, cut the honey by 25%.
Uses: As pictured, we personally love using this cold foam in an iced matcha latte or atop cold brew. It's also great on top of a regular iced latte, a homemade dirty soda, or Italian soda.
