A refreshing and indulgent iced cold brew coffee topped with a sweet and salty salted caramel foam and a dusting of warming cinnamon, perfect for summer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) strong cold brew concentrate, chilled
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold milk or milk alternative (whole milk or oat milk recommended)
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) cold heavy cream (can substitute with coconut cream for dairy-free)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
  • 2 tablespoons caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade, salted caramel preferred)
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra for garnish
  • Ice cubes, enough to fill your glass

Instructions

  1. Chill your serving glass in the freezer for 5-10 minutes to keep your cold brew icy longer.
  2. In a small bowl, combine cold heavy cream, granulated sugar, sea salt, and caramel sauce. Using a milk frother or handheld mixer, whip the mixture until soft peaks form (about 2-3 minutes). The foam should be smooth, airy, and hold its shape but still be pourable.
  3. Fill the chilled glass with ice cubes. Pour in 1 cup (240 ml) cold brew concentrate and 1/2 cup (120 ml) cold milk or milk alternative. Stir gently to combine.
  4. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon into the cold brew mixture for a subtle warm note.
  5. Spoon or gently pour the salted caramel foam over the cold brew coffee, allowing it to float on top.
  6. Dust a pinch of cinnamon over the foam using a fine mesh sieve for an even sprinkle. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Notes

Use cold heavy cream straight from the fridge for best foam results. If you don’t have a frother, shaking the cream and sugar mixture in a sealed jar can produce foam but less stable. Prepare foam last to keep it fresh and airy. Adjust sweetness and milk type to your preference. For a vegan version, use coconut or almond milk and coconut cream.
