Description

Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 cups heavy cream (or half-and-half for a lighter touch)
- 0.5 cup 2% milk (or whole milk)
- 3 tablespoons vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a large jar or suitable container, combine the 1.5 cups heavy cream, 0.5 cup 2% milk, and 3 tablespoons of vanilla syrup.
- Mix Until Smooth: Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 30-60 seconds, or whisk well, until uniformly smooth with no streaks visible.
- Chill and Store: Transfer to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to fully chill and let flavors meld.
Notes
Always use the freshest heavy cream. For extra frothiness (perfect for lattes), use a handheld milk frother for 15-20 seconds before serving. If the mixture is too thin, ensure correct ratios or reduce milk slightly next time. If not sweet enough, gradually add more vanilla syrup. Natural separation may occur in the fridge; simply shake or stir before each use to re-combine.
