Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a special frother for cold foam?
No! Most handheld frothers work with cold liquids. Alternatively, shake the cream mixture vigorously in a sealed jar for 45-60 seconds. It won't be quite as thick but still delicious.
Can I use regular milk instead of heavy cream?
Yes, but it won't be as thick and luxurious. For best results with regular milk, use whole milk or 2%, and froth for longer (45-60 seconds). The foam will be lighter and airier.
How long does the foam last?
The foam will stay on top for about 10-15 minutes before slowly incorporating into the coffee. This is normal and part of the experience! It gradually sweetens your coffee as you drink.
Is this similar to a Starbucks vanilla sweet cream cold brew?
Very similar! But with the added benefits of functional mushrooms for focus and immunity. Plus, you control the sweetness and save $6+ per drink by making it at home.
