Put heavy cream, milk, and chocolate sauce into a French press. Stir to combine.
Chocolate sauce is thick, so it's a good idea to mix the ingredients together.
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.

You can also use whole or skim milk but Starbucks uses 2% milk to make their cold foam.
For a slightly lighter version, replace the heavy cream and milk in the recipe with half & half. Half & half is half cream and half milk. Use ⅓ cup half & half and the same amount of chocolate sauce.
The cream will almost double in volume as air is pumped in, so don't fill the French press more than halfway. Make sure the French press filter is fully submerged in the cream before you start pumping, so that air can be correctly pumped in.
Leftover cold foam can be stored in the fridge for a couple of days, but it’s best to make it and serve immediately.
