Put all ingredients into a French press. Stir to combine.
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.

To make cold foam pourable, milk is added to thin out the heavy cream. Starbucks uses 2% milk, but feel free to use any milk you like. I've tried it with plant-based milks, but the cold foam will be thinner since they don't froth up as nicely.
Store-bought or homemade rose syrup can be used. If using homemade rose syrup, make that first so it has time to cool. It's super easy to make at home with water, sugar, and dried rose petals.
Don’t overfill or underfill the French press. If it’s underfilled, the plunger won’t be able to touch the liquids and won’t froth. The cold foam also increases in volume as you pump the plunger, so be careful not to overfill.
You can make cold foam ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days, but it’s best to use it right away. It’ll likely lose some volume, so give the French press a few pumps before pouring.
