1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 cup heavy cream

Pro Tips

**Cold brew tip**: Use coarsely ground coffee and steep for 12-18 hours for the smoothest taste
**Brown butter tip**: Cook until golden brown and nutty-smelling, but watch carefully to prevent burning
**Make ahead**: The cold brew base can be prepared up to 1 week in advance
**Foam secret**: Use very cold heavy cream for the best foam texture
