Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Skim Milk
  • 1 teaspoon Simple Syrup or sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon Vanilla Extract optional

Instructions

  • Add the ingredients to a tall cup. Pour the skim milk, simple syrup or sugar, and vanilla extract if using into a tall jar or cup.
  • Froth the milk. Froth the milk mixture by inserting the frother into the container and frothing until it reaches the desired consistency. You want the milk to double in size.
  • Spoon it over your drink. Once the foam has formed, scoop it out with a spoon and place it on top of your favorite cold beverage, like iced coffee or tea.

Notes

How to Make Cold Foam without a Frother

  1. Pour 1/2 cup of cold skim milk into a container with a lid. You can use a mason jar, a protein shaker bottle, or any container that can be sealed tightly.
  2. Add 1 teaspoon of simple syrup or sugar, and a dash of vanilla extract (or any other flavorings you like) to the milk.
  3. Close the container tightly and shake it vigorously for about 1-2 minutes until the milk has doubled in volume and formed a thick foam. Make sure to hold the container tightly so the liquid doesn't spill out.
