Recipe Notes

  1. Pure Vanilla Essence: Always opt for pure vanilla instead of synthetic vanilla extract. It makes all the difference in flavor and quality.
  2. Ground Cinnamon: It adds warmth. You can also experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a twist.
  3. Whole Milk: The richness of whole milk is essential for a creamy foam. However, almond or oat milk can be a good alternative for those with dietary restrictions.
  4. Heavy Cream: This is the key to achieving that luxurious texture. A lighter cream won’t provide the same level of fluffiness.
  5. Sifted Powdered Sugar: It dissolves better than granulated sugar, ensuring no gritty bits spoil your experience.

Recipe Variations

Now, if you’re feeling adventurous, consider these variations:

  • Mocha Cold Foam: Add a teaspoon of cocoa powder to the mixture for a chocolaty twist.
  • Caramel Delight: Stir in a tablespoon of caramel sauce to create a caramel-flavored foam.
  • Coconut Infusion: Use coconut milk instead of whole milk and add a dash of coconut extract for a tropical vibe.
  • Minty Fresh: A few drops of mint extract can create a refreshing flavor that’s perfect for summer.
  • Pumpkin Spice: During the fall season, add 1 tablespoon of canned pumpkin and a sprinkle of pumpkin spice for seasonal delight.
