Brown Sugar Cream Cold Brew
This brown sugar cream cold brew is a smooth iced coffee made with cold brew, homemade brown sugar syrup, and creamy brown sugar cold foam. The foam slowly blends into the coffee as you drink, creating a rich and balanced flavor.
Ingredients
Brown Sugar Cold Foam
- 2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 2 tbsp warm milk
- ½ cup cold whole milk
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract optional
Cold Brew
- 1 cup cold brew coffee
- 1-2 tsp brown sugar syrup
- ice cubes
Instructions
- Make the brown sugar syrup if you don't already have it.
- In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and warm milk for the foam and stir until dissolved.
- Make the brown sugar cold foam. Add cold milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and salt, then froth until thick and airy.
- Fill a tall glass with ice.
- Pour cold brew coffee over the ice.
- Stir in 1–2 teaspoons brown sugar syrup.
- Spoon or pour the brown sugar cold foam over the coffee.
- Sprinkle cinnamon on top if desired and serve immediately
Notes
- Start with 1 teaspoon of brown sugar syrup and add more if you prefer a sweeter drink. The foam already contains brown sugar, so a little syrup goes a long way.
- The brown sugar cold foam recipe makes enough for about 2 drinks. Store any leftover foam in the refrigerator and re-froth briefly before using.
- For a stronger drink, use coffee ice cubes instead of regular ice so the coffee doesn’t become diluted.
- Oat milk can be used instead of dairy milk for a dairy-free brown sugar cold foam, though the texture may be slightly lighter.
- Store leftover brown sugar syrup in the refrigerator for up to one week in a sealed container.
