Cold Foam Peppermint Iced Coffee Using Clarity
Peppermint is not just for hot drinks. When done right, it adds a clean, refreshing lift that works surprisingly well in iced coffee.
Clarity is the ideal base for this recipe. Its smooth medium roast keeps the drink balanced so the peppermint feels cool and subtle, not overpowering.
This is a holiday drink you can enjoy even if you prefer iced coffee year round.
Why Clarity Works for Iced Coffee
Clarity was designed to stay smooth across brew methods. When iced, it holds its flavor without turning sharp or watery.
You get:
- Clean finish
- Balanced sweetness
- No harsh aftertaste
That makes it perfect for flavored iced drinks.
Ingredients You’ll Need
For the iced coffee
- 1 cup strongly brewed Clarity, cooled
- Ice
For the peppermint cold foam
- 1/2 cup cold milk or dairy free alternative
- 1 teaspoon sugar or syrup
- 1 drop peppermint extract
How to Make Peppermint Cold Foam
1. Build the foam
Add milk, sugar, and peppermint to a jar or frother.
Froth until thick but still pourable. If using a jar, shake for 30 to 45 seconds.
Taste before using. Peppermint is powerful, so one drop is enough.
How to Build the Iced Coffee
1. Brew and cool
Brew Clarity slightly stronger than usual, around a 1 to 14 ratio.
Let it cool completely.
2. Fill your glass
Add ice to a tall glass, then pour in the cooled coffee.
3. Top with cold foam
Slowly pour the peppermint foam over the coffee.
The foam should float on top and mix naturally as you sip.
Customize Your Drink
Want it sweeter?
Add a drizzle of vanilla syrup or simple syrup to the coffee before adding ice.
Want more peppermint?
Add another tiny drop to the foam, but go slow.
Want it creamier?
Use oat milk or half and half for the foam.
Why Cold Foam Makes a Difference
Cold foam adds texture without weighing the drink down. It keeps iced coffee light while adding just enough creaminess and flavor.
It is an easy upgrade that feels special without effort.
Make It with Clarity
Clarity keeps this drink smooth, refreshing, and balanced. It is the kind of iced coffee you can drink all winter long.
