Ingredients

⅓ cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon milk
2 tablespoons Apple Syrup or store-bought
1 pinch ground cinnamon optional

Instructions

Prepare our apple syrup and refrigerate until needed.
Add the heavy cream, milk, apple syrup, and cinnamon, if using, to a tall glass or measuring cup.
Use a handheld milk frother to froth the mixture for 30 to 60 seconds, or until it becomes thick, creamy, and light enough to float on top of cold coffee.
Spoon or slowly pour the cold foam over iced coffee, cold brew, iced espresso, or your favorite fall drink.
Serve immediately and garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon or apple pie spice, if desired.

Notes

Use cold ingredients: Well-chilled heavy cream and milk create the thickest, creamiest cold foam with the best texture.
Froth just until thick: Blend for 30 to 60 seconds, stopping once the foam is light, fluffy, and pourable. Over-frothing can make it too stiff.
Adjust the sweetness and spices: Add a little more Apple Brown Sugar Syrup for a sweeter foam or finish with cinnamon, apple pie spice, pumpkin pie spice, or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
Use quality syrup: Homemade Apple Brown Sugar Syrup delivers the freshest apple flavor, but a good-quality store-bought syrup works well too.
Serve immediately: Cold foam is at its lightest and fluffiest right after frothing, making it perfect for floating on iced coffee, cold brew, or espresso drinks.
Store leftovers: Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 24 hours. Re-froth before serving, as the foam will naturally settle. Freezing is not recommended.
