Buying advice
Cold brew + cold foam made from milk, honey, and a dash of vanilla. Make cold foam: cold milk + 1 tbsp honey + vanilla, frothed with a hand frother until thick. Pour cold brew over ice, top with the foam. Pro tip: Cold foam needs COLD milk — froth it straight from the fridge for the thickest texture.
