It only requires 4 ingredients plus cold brew and tastes just like the real deal. It is crazy, sweet, salty, and perfectly foamy.

I have been on a roll with the Starbucks coffee recipes on the blog lately.

In fact, many people have requested different variations on Starbucks drinks so I will keep them coming for you guys. If you have any recipe that you would love to see, let me know in the comments below!

This is one of my favorite recipes actually. Whether it is from Starbucks or from Philz Coffee in California, I will probably order this over anything else. Actually, I would order the mint mojito iced coffee at Philz because it’s magic.

But as far as my go to comfort drink, this is it and I am so happy to have been able to recreate it for you guys!

This is the best homemade salted cold foam cold brew coffee recipe you will ever make at home!

One of the main things that inspired me to recreate this Starbucks drink is the fact that the drink itself usually runs for about $5 a piece, which is insane to me! I mean it’s just iced coffee, right?

It is just iced coffee, but we are paying for the name, the actual brand itself can charge that because of the name they created for themselves. That’s why we can skip the name and make it ourselves at home to avoid the drive through and keep that $5 save in our wallet!

• Saves you all the moneys and time.
• Easy to make.

Homemade cold brew coffee or store bought cold brew?

First things first, you will have to decide between whether you want to make your own cold brew coffee at home or purchase it from the store.

I have done both, making your own cold brew at home is super rewarding and kinda fun. But I have also purchased my cold brew from my local grocery store. There are a few brands that I enjoy:

• The Starbucks one is a classic
• I also love the Chameleon cold brew it is very strong and delicious.
• Stok cold brew is one for the books as well!

What is Starbucks-style salted cream cold foam?

The Starbucks salted cream cold foam is a savory-meets-sweet refreshing drink (as per the words of the writers on the Starbucks website).

The traditional recipe is said to be sweetened with a touch of caramel to bring out that subtle sweetness, so I decided to use maple syrup to bring out that same depth and sweetness from the original drink and it freaking worked!

Is this salted cream cold brew super sweet?

I know that the Starbucks original salted creme cold foam cold brew can be a little bit too sweet so I made sure to balance out the sweetness of this recipe.

The maple syrup gives it just the right sweetness to balance out the salt in this recipe without being too overpowering. So to answer you question, no, it is not too sweet at all. But if you feel like it needs a little extra sweetness feel free to add some more maple syrup to the mix.

Can you make this salted cream cold foam in advance?

Now, I would recommend making this right before you’re ready to enjoy your cold brew coffee so that the foam is at its peak textural consistency.
