Put all ingredients into a French press.
Place the lid and move the plunger up and down 40 times.
The cold foam will increase in volume. Pour cold foam on top of an iced drink and serve immediately.

If you want to reduce the calories in your cold foam, replace heavy cream and milk with 1/3 cup of half & half.
Almond milk, soy milk, and oat milk can all be used to replace the 2% milk in the recipe. Frothing just almond, soy, or oat milk and not using heavy cream at all will create varying results. The foam will be watery and thin.
The more uniform and tiny bubbles you create in cold foam, the more velvety the texture will be. The French press or an electric milk frother that makes cold foam will give you the best results. If you don't have a French press, a handheld milk frother will work but the foam won't be as uniform.
A manual way to make cold foam is to shake all the ingredients in a large jar with a tight lid. Just keep shaking until the froth looks like cold foam!
Brown sugar cold foam can be placed on top of any iced drink, either by replacement for milk and sweeteners, or adding an extra creamy, sweet topping to your iced beverage.
Cold foam works really well on top of cold brew, iced Americano, or an iced latte .
Don't overfill the French press since the foam will increase in size. Leave at least half the glass container empty.
Don't underfill the French press or it won't froth correctly, or at all. Be sure the liquids are touching the French press filter before moving the plunger.
Cold foam can be made up to 2 days beforehand and stored in the fridge.
