1. Cream Foam

A thick, creamy, cheesy layer on top. Torch to add flavour and “wow”.

Preparation

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl.
  • Use a blender or a hand mixer to whisk on high speed for 1 to 2min (with a blender) or 4 to 6min (with a hand whisk).
  • Test the cream foam: take a transparent bowl or glass and add room-temperature water. Add a thin layer of the cream foam. If the foam fully clouds the water, the foam is not ready yet and needs to be mixed longer. Alternatively, you can gradually add a little more powder. If the foam stays nicely in a layer on top, it means it's ready.
  • Store in the fridge to maintain consistency throughout the day.

We have three flavours of cream foam powders:

All these use the exact same preparation process as written above.

2. Matcha Cream Foam

Matcha cream foam is made of slightly different ingredients than regular cream foam, but the preparation process is exactly the same.

Preparation

  • Add all ingredients to a bowl.
  • Use a blender or a hand mixer to whisk on high speed for 1 to 2min (with a blender) or 4 to 6min (with a hand whisk).
  • Test the cream foam: take a transparent bowl or glass and add room-temperature water. Add a thin layer of the cream foam. If the foam fully clouds the water, the foam is not ready yet and needs to be mixed longer. Alternatively, you can gradually add a little more powder. If the foam stays nicely in a layer on top, it means it's ready.
  • Store in the fridge to maintain consistency throughout the day.

A sweet and creamy pudding topping.

Preparation

  • Mix the pudding powder with the hot water and stir until no lumps remain.
  • Gently stir for another 2 minutes to enhance the texture.
  • Let it cool, then store in the fridge for at least 2 hours (can be stored overnight).
  • Take a ladle, cut the pudding and serve.

4. Herbal Jelly

A refreshing, slightly bitter jelly perfect for balancing sweet teas.
