Cinnamon Almond Milk Coldfoam Coldbrew (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by aimsthename88
We got the recipe card for this drink this morning and after a little experimenting, we discovered it’s best if you mix half almond milk, half sweet cream.
Hear me out. If you make it standard, it tastes great but almond milk just *doesn’t* foam well. If you make it with sweet cream instead (skip the vanilla syrup) it foams super well but just doesn’t taste as good. If you mix 50ml sweet cream with 50ml almond milk (just 1 pump vanilla instead of 2), it foams almost as well as sweet cream and tastes amazing!

What were they thinking with this drink. Non dairy milks just don’t foam. There’s no point in even foaming it since it stays pretty liquidy.

Exactly! It definitely gets a little airy, but it’s nowhere near foamed.

It just shouldn’t be almond milk, just have almond milk as a substitute. I doubt most people would want almond milk anyways.

I was already not a fan just looking at the name because getting non dairy to foam at all is a pain.

Yeah, it definitely tastes really good but even double foaming it didn’t work.

These drinks usually get created and promoted because there's a surplus of something in our supply chain. In this case almond milk.
