Cool, creamy, and naturally sweet, this cold brew coffee with maple cinnamon oat milk cold foam is the ultimate cozy-meets-refreshing drink. Smooth, low-acid cold brew pairs perfectly with a cloud of dairy-free oat foam, lightly sweetened with maple syrup and cinnamon.
Why cold brew is superior to iced coffee
Cold brew, which is coffee grounds steeped in cold water for 12–24 hours (never heated) has a smooth, rich flavour with less acidity than regular coffee. I’m sure we all know that iced coffee is brewed hot coffee or espresso, poured over ice. While I often grab Stok cold brew from the grocery store when I need it fast, making your own is easy and perfect if you already have a favourite coffee at home.
Making non-dairy oat milk cold foam is easy with my simple method!
Oat milk cold foam is the perfect creamy topper for cold brew or iced coffee in my opinion. For the best oat milk cold foam, I choose a barista-style oat milk, since it’s formulated to froth well and hold its texture. To make the foam, you can use a handheld frother or electric milk brother like Nespresso brand. The result is a silky, dairy-free topping that floats perfectly over cold brew or iced coffee.
Cold brew stays fresh for up to a week in the fridge. I love to make a big batch and enjoy café-style coffee drinks all week long.
A note about the texture of non-dairy cold foam (from a cold foam lover!)
Non-dairy cold foam tends to be lighter and more bubbly, and it usually deflates a bit faster than dairy foam. Dairy cold foam is usually sturdier and holds its shape longer—almost like a whipped cream texture. Plant-based foams like oat cold foam are still creamy and delicious, but they stay softer and more airy, gradually melting into your drink rather than sitting on top as long.

Description
Smooth cold brew topped with maple cinnamon oat milk cold foam—creamy, dairy-free, and easy to make for a cozy coffee shop drink at home.
Ingredients
Cold Brew Coffee:
- 1 cup ground coffee
- 3 cups cold water
Maple Cinnamon Cold Foam:
- 1 cup cold oat milk
- 2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Make the cold brew (if using store-bought, skip this step): add the ground coffee to large pitcher or bowl. Pour over the water. Stir gently and then cover with plastic wrap or a reusable food cover wrap and let sit in the fridge overnight up to 2 days. Strain the coffee through a mesh strainer lined with a piece of cheesecloth. You can also do this in a French press as it has a very fine mesh strainer that can strain out the coffee grounds.
Store in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 1 week. I like to make a big batch of cold brew for the week but make the cold foam fresh each morning.
- In a milk frother (I use the Instant Brands one that does cold foam) add the milk, maple syrup and cinnamon. Press the cold foam setting. If you only have a hand held frother, simply froth the cold milk, maple syrup and cinnamon in a glass or small pitcher until frothy.
- Add some ice cubes to a serving glass. Fill 3/4 full with cold brew, then fill the rest with the cold foam. Enjoy!
