WHAT IS COLD FOAM?

Cold foam is a frothery, milk-based coffee or tea topping that is aerated to create a light and velvety texture. You can serve cold foam over hot or iced lattes, cappucinos, brewed coffee, cold brews and more! 

Cold Foam is typically made of heavy cream or half and half and milk. Flavored syrups are optional, but make tasty additions to cold foam.
