Cold Foam (self.starbucksbaristas)
submitted by Lampinglamp
So, a lot of the partners at my store are vegan and sometimes i feel bad because i don't relate to some of their struggles. So, today, while being on bar (completely dead), i decided to make some vegan cold foam.

I saw a long time ago a post on here with alternative milk cold foams and how it just didn't work... but then i realised, the reason why it's called cold foam is because it's well, foamed. if you take alternative milk and just blend it, that's not foaming it... that's simply blending it.

So, in the pitcher, add milk (i personally used oatmilk)

i aerated it for a good (what felt like 15 secs).. i aerated it until i saw it thickening. then, i kept going for a few seconds after because i wanted thickened foamy milk (exactly like cold foam).

afterwards, i had hot milk.

so quickly, i got a shaker, added a gr cup of ice then poured the milk in there to simply cool it down.

i shook the shaker for one second just to let it cool down

then quickly, i got the blender, added the oatmilk to the 150ml line with some strawberry puree.

blended it on 3 first (wet cold foam)

then i blended it on 4 (dry cold foam)

poured it in a cup and the consistently felt exactly like cold foam. i gave it to my vegan coworkers and they said it tasted really good.

once the oatmilk cooled down, it was a no-go so this process has to be done quickly.

anyways, hope y'all enjoy\~

try it and tell me what you think :)

That sounds like entirely too much worry. Oat and soy foam fine on 3. Maybe run it twice if you're having trouble. It's the almond milk that notoriously doesn't foam well.
The almond cf drinks were a mess.

oohh i'll deffo try that. but i definitely wouldn't make this type of cold foam regularly by any means. i work in a starbucks that's dead busy during the weekday and dead on weekends because it's located right where a lot of big companies are so we get corporate employees every day of the week but the weekends.

so, since it was sunday and it was dead as hell, i decided to not make myself bored and try something new and thus, where i ended up. it's one of those things that you make like once a blue moon but i just wanted to do something for my fellow partners as non-vegan partners have a lot more to enjoy (and i have one coworker who loves to complain that nothing but like 2 things on the starbucks menu is vegan) so i wanted to try and include them at the very least so they don't feel like they're missing out or they're not part of the group.

but i'll try to figure out a way to create it with almondmilk. just watch
