Ingredients

Scale

Cold Foam Ingredients

  • 1 tsp Matcha powder
  • 1/4 cup Heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp 2% milk (or preferred milk)
  • 1 tbsp Vanilla syrup (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a French press, add the heavy cream, 2% milk, matcha powder, and vanilla syrup. Mix thoroughly to ensure the matcha powder is fully incorporated into the liquid mixture, avoiding lumps.
  2. Froth the mixture: Secure the lid on the French press and repeatedly move the plunger up and down about 40 times. This action agitates the mixture and creates uniform, tiny bubbles for a smooth, frothy texture.
  3. Allow foam to expand: As you continue to froth, the cold foam will increase in volume, becoming light and airy. Stop once the foam reaches a thick, creamy consistency.
  4. Serve: Pour the freshly made matcha cold foam generously over your favorite iced drink, such as iced coffee, iced tea, or matcha latte, to add a creamy and flavorful topping.

Notes

  • Use a high-quality matcha powder for the best flavor and vibrant color.
  • If you don’t have a French press, a milk frother or handheld whisk can be used as alternatives.
  • Adjust vanilla syrup amount to taste or substitute with simple syrup or honey for a different sweetness.
  • This foam is best served immediately for optimal texture and flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with all milk, but the foam may be less rich.
