- 1 cup cold brew coffee
- 1/2 cup ice cubes
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 1/2 tablespoon milk
- 1/16 teaspoon fine sea salt
Medium mixing bowl
Small whisk
Measuring spoons
Make the salted maple foamYou combine the heavy cream, maple syrup, milk, and fine sea salt in a medium bowl and whisk for one to two minutes until the mixture turns lightly thickened and foamy while still easy to pour. Whisking past this point turns the mixture into actual whipped cream, which works fine on toast but not for pouring over coffee. Fill the glass with iceYou add the ice cubes to a serving glass, filling it enough to keep the drink cold throughout. Add the cold brewYou pour the cold brew coffee slowly over the ice, giving the drink a moment to settle before the next step. Top with the foamYou pour the prepared salted maple foam slowly over the cold brew, letting it settle naturally on top for a layered look. The drink tastes identical even if the foam mixes in immediately instead of sitting in a clean layer. Serve immediatelyYou sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt over the foam if you want extra flavor, then drink the whole thing before anyone nearby asks to share.
Recipe Notes
-
Storage note. You assemble the drink right before serving, since the ice melts and waters down the coffee if it sits too long before drinking.
