Ingredients
For the Strawberry Syrup
- 8 oz strawberries, washed, hulled, and chopped
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
For the Strawberry Cold Foam
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2-3 tbsp strawberry syrup
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare the Strawberry Syrup: In a medium-sized pot, combine the chopped strawberries, granulated sugar, and water. Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a gentle boil. Stir continuously to dissolve the sugar completely. Use a potato masher or fork to crush the strawberries gently to release their juices and flavor. Then remove the pot from heat.
- Strain the Syrup: Pour the strawberry mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a small jar or bowl to separate the liquid syrup from the solids. Press the strawberries lightly to extract as much syrup as possible, discarding the leftover pulp.
- Make the Cold Foam: In a jar or a small liquid measuring cup, combine the freshly made strawberry syrup, heavy whipping cream, and vanilla extract. Use a handheld milk frother to whip the mixture until it thickens and forms a creamy, airy foam.
- Serve: Spoon the strawberry cold foam on top of your favorite cold or hot matcha or coffee latte and enjoy immediately for a refreshing and flavorful treat.
Notes
- The thickness of the strawberry cold foam depends on the cream and the amount of whipping; adjust whipping time accordingly.
- Adjust the amount of strawberry syrup to achieve your desired sweetness.
- You can store leftover strawberry syrup in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- Use chilled heavy whipping cream for best frothing results.
- If you don’t have a handheld milk frother, use an electric mixer or blend briefly to achieve foam, but avoid overblending.
