With its rich, creamy texture, cold foam has become a sought-after addition for beverages everywhere. But are you maximizing this business opportunity?
Large coffee chains are successfully adding over $1 to their bottom line with just a dollop of cold foam. Incorporating it into your offerings could be a straightforward strategy for enhancing your revenue.
With a variety of methods available to create this perfect frothy topping, there's bound to be one that aligns seamlessly with your business setup. You can also add syrups, extracts, spices, purees, etc. to enhance the flavor and originality of your drinks.
We recommend using skim milk, as the lower fat content creates the lightest froth with the longest hold.
You can also use your favorite barista series dairy alternative; just double the frothing time in the instructions below. Dairy alternative foams tend to be looser and dissipate more quickly. Try mixing in a dairy-free whipped topping for a thicker consistency.
Handheld Milk Frother: Submerge frother in 4 oz. of milk and froth until desired consistency, typically 15-20 seconds.
Immersion Blender: In a tall, skinny container, submerge the blender wand in 4 oz. of milk and blend on low for 30 seconds. Slowly move the wand from the bottom to the top of the milk for maximum volume.
French Press: Add 4 oz. of milk to a french press and pump for a minute or two until desired consistency is reached.
Shaker Bottle: Add 4 oz. of milk to a shaker bottle with a blender ball and shake until desired consistency is reached.
Commercial Blender with Frothing Jar: Add 4 oz. of milk to the blender frothing jar and blend on the lowest setting for 20 seconds.
