Horchata Cold Foam Recipe
A creamy, cinnamon-vanilla horchata cold foam that adds a fluffy, café-style layer to iced coffee, cold brew, matcha, or chai.
Ingredients
- ¼ cup horchata homemade or store-bought; thicker brands work best
- 2 tbsp heavy cream
- 2 tbsp whole milk or 2% milk
- ½–1 tbsp syrup sugar, brown sugar syrup, cinnamon dolce, vanilla syrup, or agave
- Tiny pinch of salt
- Ground cinnamon for mixing + topping
- ¼ tsp vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Add your ingredients:
- In a small cup, combine horchata, heavy cream, milk, syrup, and a tiny pinch of salt.
Froth the mixture:
- Froth for 15–25 seconds until thick, silky, and doubled in volume.
- Stop before it gets chunky.
Add cinnamon:
- Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon and froth 1–2 seconds more
- (don’t overdo it or it turns grainy).
Pour over your iced drink:
- Add it on top of iced coffee, cold brew, iced matcha, iced chai, or any cinnamon-based drink.
Optional:
- Dust with cinnamon for a café-style look.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients — cold cream froths the best.
- Thick horchata makes the fluffiest foam.
