What is in a salted maple cold brew?

A typical salted maple cold brew, drawn from Sydney cafes' own posts, is built from the top down with sea salt flakes (a pinch on top), salted maple foam (milk and cream whipped cold with maple syrup and a pinch of salt, about 2 cm), ice (fills the cup before anything is poured) and cold brew (about 250 ml over ice). Each cafe makes its own version, so this is a typical build, not one cafe's recipe.

How does The Froth count this?

A cafe counts for salted maple from the first public post or customer review we found about it, the cafe's own post or a customer's, and while it is on the cafe's current menu. Shares are of the cafes we see well: those with an Instagram post or a current menu in the same 90 days, a chain counting once. A change compares the same cafes in the last 90 days with the 90 before, only among cafes we have followed through both, so newly added cafes never look like growth. The 90 days end on the latest day with cafe posts or reviews (13 Nov 2026), not today. Searches are monthly search demand in Sydney with all of a trend's names added up. Captions stay private; we only link to public posts. The full method is on our "How we track cafe trends" page.
