Pro Tips for the Best Salted Honey Latte with Blackberry Cold Foam
Use freshly brewed espresso for the richest coffee flavor and best balance with the sweet foam.
Chilling the cream before frothing helps create thicker, silkier cold foam.

Another is overblending the cold foam, which can make it too dense instead of silky and airy.
