Cold Foam (noun):
- Cold foam is a type of frothy, aerated milk that is typically used as a topping for cold coffee beverages, such as iced lattes, cold brew coffee, or iced cappuccinos. Unlike traditional steamed milk foam, which is heated and used in hot drinks, cold foam is created without any heat. It has a creamy, smooth texture and is designed to sit atop cold beverages without immediately sinking or dissolving.
Example Sentences
- “The barista topped my iced latte with a generous layer of vanilla-flavored cold foam.”
- “Cold foam has become a trendy addition to cold brew coffee.”
- “As I took a sip of my drink, the cold foam slowly mixed into the coffee.”
Notes
- Cold foam is typically made by blending or whisking milk at high speed to create a thick, foamy consistency.
- Some versions of cold foam include sweeteners, flavorings (such as vanilla or caramel), or even dairy alternatives, such as almond milk or oat milk.
- It’s become a popular addition in coffee shops and cafés.
