Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

FOAM
  • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese slightly softened
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream cold
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch sea salt
DRINK
  • 3/4 cup cold brew concentrate
  • 1/4 cup cold water or milk, for a softer drink
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla syrup
  • 1 cup ice
  • 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Method
 

  1. Whisk the mascarpone until smooth, about 30 seconds.
  2. Add cream, milk, sugar, vanilla and salt; whisk or froth to thick, pourable soft peaks, 1–2 minutes.
  3. Fill a tall glass with ice. Add the cold brew, water and vanilla syrup; stir once.
  4. Pour the foam slowly over the back of a spoon so it floats in one thick layer.
  5. Dust with cocoa and serve unstirred, with a spoon or wide straw.

Notes

The foam keeps for 24 hours, refrigerated. No concentrate? Use 1 cup strong chilled coffee and skip the water.
