Method
 

Make the apple crisp cold foam
  1. Combine heavy cream, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, apple pie spice, and milk in a jar or frother cup.
  2. Froth using a milk frother or shake vigorously in a sealed jar for 30–45 seconds, until light and foamy.
Assemble your drink
  1. Fill a glass with ice and pour in your favorite iced coffee or cold brew.
  2. Spoon the cold foam over the top, letting it float on the surface.
  3. Dust with an extra pinch of cinnamon, if desired.
  4. Stir gently before sipping to combine, or enjoy the foam layered on top.

Notes

For the smoothest foam, chill the cream and milk beforehand and aim for vigorous frothing until the texture looks airy and holds soft peaks. Refrigerate leftover foam in a sealed container for up to 1 day, then re-whisk briefly before using; freezing isn’t recommended. Dietary swap: use half-and-half or a high-fat lactose-free cream substitute to keep the foam stable without dairy lactose.
