FAQs

Can I use hot coffee instead of cold brew?

Cold brew is preferred for its smooth, less acidic flavor, but you can use chilled brewed coffee if cold brew is not available. Just make sure it’s well chilled before making the drink.

What can I use if I don’t have a hand frother?

You can vigorously shake the cream mixture in a sealed jar or whisk it by hand, though it may not become as thick and creamy as with a hand frother.
