Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew (Starbucks Copycat) Recipe

Introduction

This Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew is a delightful copycat of the popular Starbucks drink. It combines smooth cold brew coffee with a rich, creamy salted caramel foam, making it a perfect refreshing treat for coffee lovers.

Ingredients

• 8 oz cold brew coffee
• 1-2 tbsp vanilla syrup (adjust for sweetness)
• 2 tbsp heavy cream
• 2 tbsp milk (2% recommended)
• 1 tbsp caramel syrup
• 1/8 tsp salt

Instructions

1. Step 1: Pour the cold brew into a large cup filled with ice. Add the vanilla syrup and stir well to combine.
2. Step 2: In a separate cup, prepare the salted caramel foam by combining the heavy cream, milk, caramel syrup, and salt. Use a hand frother to froth the mixture until it becomes thick and creamy.
3. Step 3: Gently pour the salted caramel cold foam over the cold brew and enjoy immediately.

Tips & Variations

• Use a milk alternative like oat or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
• Adjust the amount of vanilla and caramel syrup to suit your preferred sweetness level.
• For a stronger coffee flavor, increase the cold brew concentration or reduce the amount of milk.
• Try adding a pinch of cinnamon or espresso powder to the foam for a unique twist.

Storage

This drink is best enjoyed fresh to preserve the frothy texture of the salted caramel cream. If needed, store the cold brew (without the foam) in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat cold brew gently if desired, but prepare the caramel foam fresh each time for the best experience.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular coffee instead of cold brew?

Regular coffee can be used, but cold brew provides a smoother, less acidic base that complements the creamy caramel foam better. If using hot coffee, let it cool before adding the foam.

What can I use if I don’t have a hand frother?

You can vigorously shake the cream mixture in a jar with a lid or whisk it by hand until it becomes frothy, though results may vary slightly from a hand frother.
