The combination of chilled foam, infused with both salty and sweet flavors, emulates a creamy, decadent topping for various coffee beverages. It is achieved by whipping cold, low-fat milk or cream and incorporating salt and a sweetener, such as vanilla syrup, creating a light yet flavorful element enhancing the overall drink experience. An example would be layering it atop a cold brew or iced latte to introduce a textural and taste contrast.
This flavored foam provides a customizable alternative to traditional whipped cream, offering a lighter calorie profile and a more complex flavor profile. Its appeal lies in the way it complements and elevates the underlying coffee, creating a layered taste sensation. Its rise in popularity reflects a broader consumer trend toward seeking more sophisticated and personalized beverage options. Coffee establishments have adapted to this trend, providing their own interpretations and variations.
