Ingredients
  

1 cup freshly brewed strong coffee (cooled)

1/2 cup milk (dairy or your favorite non-dairy alternative)

2 tablespoons vanilla syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)

Ice cubes

Whipped cream (optional topping for added luxury)

Cocoa powder or ground cinnamon (optional for garnish)

Instructions
 

Start by brewing a robust cup of coffee, ensuring it is strong to stand up to the cold foam. Once brewed, allow the coffee to cool to room temperature. For quicker results, you can place it in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

    In a blender, or using a mixing bowl and a frother, combine the milk and vanilla syrup. Blend on high speed for approximately 30 seconds until the mixture becomes frothy and airy. If using a frother, froth the milk until it reaches a thick, creamy foam consistency.

      Take a tall glass and fill it generously with ice cubes. Pour the cooled coffee over the ice, filling the glass but leaving adequate space at the top for the luxurious foam.

        Using a spoon, gently add the cold foam over the coffee. The foam should sit lightly on top, creating an inviting layer above the dark coffee.

          For an indulgent touch, top the cold foam with a dollop of fluffy whipped cream, adding extra creaminess to your drink.

            To elevate the presentation and flavor, finish with a delicate sprinkle of cocoa powder or ground cinnamon on top of the whipped cream. Serve your Velvety Cold Foam Coffee immediately for the best experience and enjoy every sip!
