Make Daydream Flash Brew with Strawberry Cold Foam 🍓
To say we love strawberries is an understatement. It reminds us of good ol' strawberry pickin' with family when we were just kiddos. Frolicking on a hot summer day, picking one for the basket and two for our tummies, and one of the core flavours that remind us of the soaking in the long hot days of summer vacation. To many, its one of the first tasting notes that shine through when we dove head first into the world of specialty coffee. So while we're in high gear soaking in all of this sweet, sweet summer heat wave, you best believe we will be doing so with our favourite summer beverage in hand, daydream flash brew with strawberry cold foam.
Chances are the more you enjoy and make this recipe, the more your pals will be asking for a top up of this delicious cold strawberry drink, so be prepared to make enough for you and a couple friends to enjoy during some backyard shenanigans.
Today we will be sharing our DIY at-home strawberry cold foam - and as always, this recipe is just a recommendation, and can be tweaked to your perfection for however you love it best.
