Ingredients

☕ Coffee Note
For optimal flavor, it’s best to Prepare Ahead of Time and Refrigerate the Coffee. This method eliminates the need for ice, preventing any dilution of the coffee’s taste.
Essential Kitchen Equipment
Directions
Step 1 Brew a cup of strong, bold coffee using your preferred method. After brewing, add ice to the coffee and sweetener to taste, or you can use simple syrup for added sweetness.
Step 2 In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream and sea salt, then whisk on high until it reaches a thick and frothy consistency with soft peaks, typically taking about 2-3 minutes with a hand mixer.
☕ Brewing Coffee Pro Tip
For Optimal Boldness in your coffee, use a ratio of 4 Tablespoons of Ground Coffee Beans to 12 Ounces of Water. This ensures a strong and flavorful brew that will pair perfectly with the cream foam.
Step 3 Once ready, top your coffee with the sea salt cream, and enjoy it directly with the foam on top.
💡 Batch Prepping Pro Tip
Consider making a Large Batch of coffee and storing it in the Refrigerator. Additionally, store the foam separately in a container in the fridge. This allows you to quickly assemble the drink whenever desired.
🥤 Serving Pro Tip
Sip the coffee and savor the foam Without Mixing them together.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any type of coffee for this recipe, or is there a specific recommendation?
For the best flavor experience, we recommend using bold dark roasts like French or Italian coffee. These roasts complement the creamy foam perfectly.
How do I achieve the perfect consistency for the sea salt foam?
To achieve the perfect consistency for the sea salt foam, simply hand mix until soft peaks are formed. This means whisking the foam until it reaches a fluffy texture that holds its shape but is still soft and airy.
Is it necessary to chill the coffee before adding the sea salt foam?
While it's not necessary to chill the coffee beforehand, chilling the coffee helps maintain its bold flavor without the ice diluting the flavors.
Storage Tips
Leftovers of this drink are best enjoyed promptly. However, if you have leftover foam, it can be stored in a separate container in the fridge for 5-7 days.
