Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk 2% or whole milk
  • 2 teaspoons honey
  • ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Add the heavy whipping cream, milk, honey, and vanilla extract to a small glass or jar.
  • Stir thoroughly until the honey is evenly incorporated into the mixture.
  • Using a handheld milk frother, froth for approximately 20–40 seconds, or until the mixture is thick, creamy, and fluffy but still pourable.
  • Pour immediately over your favorite iced coffee, cold brew, or iced latte.
  • Enjoy!

Notes

Honey: Use a mild, liquid honey for the smoothest flavor and easiest mixing.
Thick honey: If needed, gently warm the honey with a little milk to help it dissolve. Cool before frothing.
Sweetness: Adjust the honey to taste.
Consistency: For thicker cold foam, add slightly more heavy cream. For thinner foam, add a splash of milk.
Storage: Store the unfrothed mixture in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Froth just before serving.
Equipment: A handheld milk frother or electric milk frother works best.
