Put all ingredients into a French press.
¼ cup heavy cream, 2 tablespoons milk, 1 tablespoon lavender syrup, pinch sea salt
Place the lid on the French press and move plunger up and down 40 times.
The cold foam will increase in volume.
Pour cold foam on top of an iced drink.
Serve immediately.

Any plant milk like oat milk or soy milk can be used to replace the 2% milk. You can froth alternative milks and replace the heavy cream but the cold foam will be thin and very runny.
In order to bring out the sweetness and compliment the floral lavender notes, good quality sea salt is added to the cold foam. You can take it out if you like, but I find the lavender cold foam a little one-note without it.
While pumping the plunger in the French press, the cold foam will increase in volume (about double) so be sure not to overfill it.
Don't underfill the French press or the plunger won't be able to touch the liquids before moving up and down, and it won't froth.
If you don't need it right away, cold foam can be stored in your refrigerator for up to 2 days. Give the French press a few pumps before pouring over your drink since it'll lose some of its volume.
