Quick take

Make café-style iced mushroom coffee at home with Urban Calm Centered and a simple pourable vanilla cold foam.

Centered is balanced enough to work under milk, vanilla and ice without becoming too roast-forward.

Ingredients

Coffee

  • 1 cup strongly brewed Urban Calm Centered, chilled
  • Ice
  • 1 tsp maple syrup, optional

Vanilla cold foam

  • 1/3 cup cold milk or barista-style oat milk
  • 1 tbsp cream or extra barista oat milk, optional for body
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp maple syrup or simple syrup

How to make it

  1. Fill a tall glass with ice and add the chilled Centered.
  2. Combine the cold-foam ingredients in a small pitcher or jar.
  3. Froth until airy but still pourable.
  4. Pour over the iced coffee and serve immediately.
The foam is the texture element. The coffee underneath should remain simple and recognizable.

Do you need heavy cream?

No. Cream creates a richer foam, but a good barista-style oat milk or dairy milk can work on its own. Use what you already like in coffee.

Make it maple

Replace the vanilla syrup with pure maple syrup. If you want a more elaborate maple drink, use the Golden Maple Glow Up.

Brew slightly stronger for iced recipes so melting ice does not flatten the finished drink.

More café-style mushroom coffee

Try the Vanilla Lion's Mane Latte hot, or make the Dark Roast Mushroom Coffee Mocha when you want chocolate instead of vanilla.
