Cream being poured into a glass with ice and cold brew.

STEP 1: Make the maple cold foam. Use a handheld milk frother to combine the half & half, heavy cream, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk for about 1 minute until thickened.

STEP 2: Add the cold foam to the coffee. Pour the cold brew into a glass filled with ice and pour over the maple cream. Finish it off with a sprinkle of cinnamon and flaky sea salt.

FAQ

Can I use fine sea salt?

We recommend sticking with flaky sea salt since it’s much easier to over-salt with granulated/fine salt. You would need a much smaller amount and it isn’t ideal for garnishing the drink since it will just dissolve into the top.

What can I use in place of the half & half?

As mentioned in the ingredients section above, you can substitute the half & half with half milk half cream. So all together, you’d need 1 tbsp of milk and 3 tbsp of heavy cream for the cold foam.
