HOW TO SERVE Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam
To serve Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam, simply pour it over your favorite chilled beverage. A cold brew coffee works wonderfully, but you can also pair it with a chai latte for added spice. This foam is a great way to elevate your drink experience. If you want additional sweetness, consider adding some extra pecan syrup to your beverage before topping it with the cold foam. A sprinkle of chopped pecans on top can also add a nice crunch and visual appeal.
HOW TO STORE Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam
It’s best to make Salted Pecan Cream Cold Foam fresh for the best taste and texture. However, if you have leftover foam, store it in the refrigerator in an airtight container.
