Allpa Maca Foam Cold Brew Recipe
This Allpa Maca Foam Cold Brew is a smooth, refreshing iced coffee recipe made with ready-to-drink cold brew and a creamy no-canister maca foam. It’s an easy way to elevate your daily coffee using Allpa Peruvian Coffee (Medium Roast) and Allpa Organic Peruvian Maca Root Powder.
Why Maca Foam Works with Cold Brew
The earthy, malty flavor of Allpa Organic Peruvian Maca Root Powder pairs really well with the smooth flavor of cold brew made from Allpa Peruvian Coffee (Medium Roast). Frothed with oat milk, it creates a creamy top layer that gives your drink a café-style feel at home.

Ingredients
- 1 cup coarse-ground Allpa Peruvian Coffee (Medium Roast)
- 8 cups cold filtered water
Method
- Combine the coarse-ground Allpa Peruvian Coffee and water in a large jar or pitcher.
- Stir gently to wet all grounds.
- Cover and steep for 12–18 hours (fridge or room temp).
- Strain through a fine mesh strainer.
- Strain again through a coffee filter or cheesecloth for a smoother finish.
- Chill and store in the refrigerator.
Recommended Method
- Best option: Refrigerator steep for a smooth, consistent flavor
- Tip: Use a coarse grind for your Allpa Peruvian Coffee to reduce bitterness and make straining easier

FAQ: Maca Foam Cold Brew Recipe
Can I make maca foam without a whipped cream canister?
Yes. You can make maca foam with a hand frother, French press, blender, or whisk. A hand frother is the easiest option for single servings.
What milk works best for maca foam?
Barista oat milk usually gives the best foam texture and hold. Regular oat milk also works, but the foam may be lighter.
Can I make the cold brew ahead of time?
Yes. The ready-to-drink cold brew can be batch-prepped and stored in the refrigerator, making this recipe easy for daily use.
What if my maca foam is clumpy?
Pre-mix the Allpa Organic Peruvian Maca Root Powder with a small amount of warm oat milk first, and sift the powder if needed.
What if my cold brew tastes bitter?
Use a coarse grind, strain well, and shorten the steep time on your next batch.
