Description

This Lavender Cold Foam recipe is a delightful and visually stunning topping for your favorite coffee or tea beverages. Combining the floral sweetness of lavender syrup with the rich creaminess of heavy cream and milk, this cold foam adds a luxurious texture and a beautiful lavender hue. Easy to make with or without a milk frother, it’s a perfect way to elevate your homemade drinks with a fragrant, delicate finish.

Ingredients

Cold Foam Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon lavender syrup
  • 3 tablespoons heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1-2 teaspoons sweetener (adjust to taste; options include regular sugar, stevia, agave, honey, etc.)
  • ⅛ teaspoon purple sweet potato powder (for color; can substitute with purple food coloring)
  • Dried lavender (for topping; optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare ingredients: Gather lavender syrup, heavy cream, milk, sweetener of your choice, and purple sweet potato powder or purple food coloring.
  2. Mix syrup and cream: Combine 1 tablespoon of lavender syrup with 3 tablespoons of heavy cream. Stir or whisk until the mixture becomes thick. Add sweetener to taste, mixing well.
  3. Froth the mixture: In a cup or jar, add the thickened lavender syrup and cream mixture along with 2 tablespoons of milk. Use a milk frother to blend until light, fluffy, and creamy. If you don’t have a frother, seal the container tightly and shake vigorously until frothy.
  4. Adjust consistency and sweetness: Taste the foam; add more lavender syrup or sweetener if desired. If the foam is too thick, add a splash more milk and froth again to achieve your preferred texture.
  5. Add coloring: For a subtle lavender hue, stir in ⅛ teaspoon of purple sweet potato powder or a few drops of purple food coloring until evenly distributed.
  6. Top your drink: Pour the lavender cold foam over your preferred cold or hot beverage such as coffee or tea.
  7. Garnish and serve: Sprinkle dried lavender buds on top of the foam for a decorative and aromatic finish. Serve immediately and enjoy the delicate floral flavor combined with creamy texture.

Notes

  • If you don’t own a milk frother, using a jar to shake the ingredients vigorously works well to create froth.
  • Sugar alternatives like stevia, honey, or agave can be adjusted to preference or omitted for less sweetness.
  • Purple sweet potato powder not only adds color but also a subtle natural sweetness; substitute with purple food coloring if unavailable.
  • This foam pairs excellently with iced coffees, lattes, and herbal teas.
  • Keep the foam refrigerated if not using immediately, but best consumed fresh for optimal frothiness.
