What is Pumpkin Cold Foam?
Ever wondered why this magical elixir is called “cold foam”? Is it because it’s cold? Groundbreaking, I know!

The name might be straightforward, but the experience is anything but. Maybe the barista who invented it was just really, really cold that day.
Or maybe it’s because the best things come in small, delightful, cold-foamed packages. Some say ‘the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach,’ but I argue the way to anyone’s heart is through a cup of delicious, homemade pumpkin cold foam. So, ditch the drive-thru, grab your whisk, and let’s get foaming!
