Ingredients
Scale
For the Foam
- 50 ml Heavy Whipping Cream (at least 36% milkfat)
- 50 ml Whole Milk
- 3 tablespoons Purple Lavender Syrup (homemade or store-bought)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a tall mason jar or cup, pour in 50 ml of heavy whipping cream, followed by 50 ml of whole milk, and 3 tablespoons of purple lavender syrup. Use a measuring cup for accuracy, ensuring all ingredients are combined carefully. The mixture should look rich and creamy, inviting you to continue.
- Froth the Mixture: Using a handheld electric frother, immerse the whisk into the liquid mixture and turn it on. Froth for about 30-45 seconds until the mixture becomes lightly foamy with small bubbles forming. Be careful not to overwhip; the goal is a soft, airy texture suitable for cold foam.
- Serve Your Foam: Once frothed to your liking, gently pour the lavender cream cold foam over your choice of espresso, matcha, chai, or any other beverage. Create a beautiful layer of foam on top and enjoy the enticing floral aroma blending with your drink.
- Adjust Consistency if Needed: If the foam becomes too thick after whipping, add a splash of milk to loosen it slightly. Stir gently to maintain a velvety texture and ensure it blends well with your beverage.
- Store Any Leftovers: Transfer leftover lavender cream cold foam to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 2 days. Stir gently before using again, as separation may naturally occur during storage.
Notes
- Avoid overwhipping the foam to keep it light and airy.
- Adjust the amount of lavender syrup to taste for desired sweetness and floral intensity.
- Separation in stored foam is normal; simply stir before use.
- For an extra vibrant color, add a drop of blueberry or blackberry juice, or a small amount of purple gel food coloring.
- Serve immediately after making for the best texture and flavor.
