I was first introduced to the combination of citrus with coffee on one of my husband and I’s weekly dates to a local coffee shop. It was on their summer menu, and I was skeptical at first. Orange and coffee just doesn’t seen like a very likable flavor profile but I was pleasantly surprised at how well the flavors meld and compliment each other! Ever since I have had in my mind to create something similar as a special treat during the summer months.

While oranges aren’t technically ‘in season’ until December, there is something so refreshing about creamsicles and fresh cold oranges during the hot summer days.

We enjoy iced lattes very often in our home and I love topping them with homemade cold foam. Some of our favorites are sweet cream, chocolate, strawberry, and even honey cream are all delicious! Cold foam is an easy way to have special gourmet style coffee right in the comfort of home!

Ingredients

Heavy whipping cream – you. may also use raw cream

Milk – whole milk works best. You may also use raw milk if desired.

Orange juice concentrate – you can find this in the frozen section at most grocery stores. It adds that wonderful citrus flavor but isn’t watery like orange juice so the cold foam doesn’t melt into your coffee as easily.

Cane sugar – to sweeten. I use organic can sugar. You may substitute coconut sugar or raw sugar.

Vanilla extract – use pure vanilla extract or homemade!

Salt – just a pinch!

Orange zest (optional) – freshly grated. This is totally optional but adds a ton more flavor if you choose to use it!

Step-by-step instructions (with pictures!) can be found below, followed by a recipe card with exact measurements.

How to Make Orange Cream Cold Foam

Step 1: In a small jar combine the heavy cream (2 Tbs), milk (2 Tbs), orange juice concentrate (1 Tbs), sugar (2-3 tsp depending on how sweet you like), vanilla (1/8 tsp), and a very small pinch of salt.

Step 2: Stir with a small spoon to combine until the sugar is completely dissolved into the liquid ingredients.

Step 3: Using a handheld milk frother or immersion blender fitted with a whisk attachment, whip the mixture until it thickens and is smooth and creamy in texture. This should only take about 20-30 seconds depending on how powerful your milk frother is.

Step 4: Serve and enjoy!

How to Serve

Orange cream cold foam is best served fresh! Serve over iced cold brew coffee or a homemade iced latte! Make your latte or coffee as desired then pour or spoon the cold foam over the top. Garnish with freshly grated orange zest if desired for a pretty finish!

For an iced latte:

When making an iced latte, fill a pint jar or tall glass with ice. Pour in 5-8 oz. of milk (depending on how strong of a coffee flavor you like), pour your freshly brewed espresso in on top of the milk then top it with the cold foam.

If using cold brew coffee or pre-brewed coffee in a french press:

If you are using cold brew coffee, fill a jar about halfway with ice. Fill the jar about three quarters full with coffee, making sure to leave some room for the cold foam, and sweeten to your likeness. Add a splash of cream or half and half if desired, then top with the orange cream cold foam.

You can also make coffee in a french press or regular drip coffee machine for this latte. Cool it completely before using then follow the instructions above.
