Instructions

1. Prepare the foam

In the NitroPress, combine milk, ube syrup or halaya, vanilla, and condensed milk. Shake until fully dissolved. Charge and shake gently for 10-20 seconds.

2. Assemble the drink

In a 500ml glass, pour 200ml cold milk, then 200ml cold brew over it. Add ice if desired.

3. Top with ube foam

Dispense the ube-infused nitro foam directly over the cold brew. Aim for a flat, creamy head.

4. Optional brûlée finish

Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar on the foam. If using a torch, gently brulée the top for a crisp finish — otherwise, let the sugar sit for a subtle texture.
