Ingredients
  

Base Ingredients

  • ½ cup cold 2% milk or whole, oat, almond, or soy
  • 2 tablespoons heavy cream optional, for sweet cream style
  • 1–2 tablespoons simple syrup honey, or maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract or flavored syrup of choice

Optional Variations

  • 1 tablespoon pumpkin spice syrup or puree + pinch of cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon salted caramel syrup + pinch of sea salt
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder for mocha foam
  • ½ teaspoon xanthan gum optional, for extra thickness

Instructions
 

Choose Your Base:

  • Pour ½ cup of cold 2% milk (or substitute) into a jar or frothing container.
  • Add 2 tablespoons of heavy cream if you want the Starbucks sweet cream style.

Add Flavor & Sweetener:

  • Stir in vanilla extract and sweetener of your choice.
  • Swap in pumpkin spice, caramel, or cocoa for variations.

Froth the Mixture:

  • Using a frother: Whip until creamy and airy.
  • Using a blender: Blend 20–30 seconds until foamy.

Layer Over Coffee:

  • Pour the frothy topping gently over iced coffee, cold brew, or iced latte.

Notes

  • Always keep milk cold — it froths better.
  • Don’t over-froth; you want pourable foam, not whipped cream.
