Make your own salted caramel cold foam cold brew coffee right at home – it’s easier than you’d think! Combine a homemade caramel simple syrup with perfectly brewed cold brew coffee and top it all off with a sweet and salty whipped caramel cold foam. Take that, Starbucks!
In a small saucepan, combine the ½ cup salted caramel sauce and ½ cup water, mixing until smooth. Cook over low heat until just steaming. Remove from heat, pour into a glass jar or other heatproof container, and set aside until cool. When cool, cover and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
For the salted sweet cream cold foam:
Whisk together the 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup sweetened condensed milk, 1 tsp. vanilla extract, and ¼ cup of the caramel simple syrup you just made until smooth. Cover and place in the fridge until ready to use.
For the coffee:
In a large glass filled with ice, add 1 – 2 ounces of the homemade caramel simple syrup (depending on how sweet you like your coffee). Add in the cold brew coffee (if using a cold brew coffee concentrate, you may want to add a splash of cold water to dilute, as it can be very strong) and stir to combine.
Pour ¼ cup of the salted caramel sweet cream into your blender and blend for 8 – 10 seconds, or until thickened and fluffy. Spoon or pour onto the top of the coffee. Garnish with a drizzle of the salted caramel sauce and a sprinkling of flaky sea salt for serving, if desired.
