Ingredients
Scale
2 shots espresso (or 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee)
1/2 cup cold milk (dairy or non-dairy)
2 tablespoons coconut syrup
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup or mocha sauce
1 cup ice cubes
For the Cold Foam: 1/4 cup heavy cream
1 tablespoon cold milk
1 teaspoon coconut syrup
Instructions
Prepare the coffee: Brew your espresso or strong coffee. Set aside to cool slightly.
Mix the base: In a tall glass, combine the cooled coffee, 1/2 cup cold milk, 2 tablespoons coconut syrup, and chocolate syrup. Stir well until combined.
Add ice: Fill the glass with ice cubes.
Make the cold foam: In a small bowl or using a handheld milk frother, combine the heavy cream, 1 tablespoon cold milk, and 1 teaspoon coconut syrup. Whisk or froth vigorously until the mixture thickens and holds soft peaks. This takes about 1 to 2 minutes with a frother.
Assemble the drink: Gently spoon the prepared cold foam over the top of the iced coffee mixture. Serve immediately.
Notes
Use full-fat canned coconut milk for a richer flavor in the base, but use standard cold milk for the foam to help it stabilize better.
For the best cold foam texture, keep all foam ingredients very cold before whipping.
If you do not have a frother, you can shake the foam ingredients hard in a sealed jar until thickened.
