Notes

Variations

The best part about making your own matcha cold form is you can make it exactly to spec without paying any extra surcharges. How great is that?!? Here are a few ways to customize this recipe to your needs:

Use a different flavor syrup to flavor your sweet cream. Feel free to get whimsical with it!
Make it vegan by swapping in coconut cream and the non-dairy milk of your choice.

How to Store Matcha Cold Foam

If you have extra matcha cold foam, good news—you can store it for later! While it’s best enjoyed fresh for the fluffiest texture, here’s how to keep it for future use:

Refrigerate – Transfer the cold foam to an airtight container and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Re-froth Before Serving – The foam may lose some of its airy texture over time, so give it a quick whisk or froth with a milk frother before using.
Avoid Freezing – Since heavy cream and milk don’t freeze well once frothed, freezing isn’t recommended.

For the freshest, creamiest cold foam, I recommend making it right before serving—but if you need to prep ahead, this method will help keep it light and delicious!
