Possible Substitutions

  • Espresso: Use strong brewed coffee or cold brew if you don't have an espresso machine.
  • Double cream: Heavy cream works perfectly. For a lighter foam, use more milk and less cream.
  • Milk: Any milk works including oat, almond or soy milk.
  • Sweetener: Use maple syrup, simple syrup, honey or your favourite zero-calorie sweetener!
  • Flavoured foam: Add a splash of vanilla, caramel or your favourite syrup to the cold foam for a different flavour.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Sweeten the foam to taste: Start with less sweetener and add more if needed.
  • Don't over-froth. The foam should be light, creamy and pourable rather than stiff.
Fridge

Storage

  • Sweet cream cold foam: You can mix the cream, milk and sweetener ahead of time and keep it covered in the fridge for up to 2 days. Froth just before serving.
  • Iced Americano: Make this fresh rather than storing it, as the ice will dilute the coffee over time or just use a cold brew.

Method

make the espresso

Brew 2 shot of espresso and allow it to cool slightly.

make the iced Americano

Fill a glass generously with ice.

Pour over the espresso, then top up with cold water to your preferred strength.
