To make cold foam, you need to be able to aerate the mixture. You can do this with either a milk frother or by shaking it in a sealable jar. I've made it both ways and prefer using a frother, but either will work. In a pinch, you can also use a blender!
Into a tall glass or jar, add 2 Tbsp heavy cream, 2 Tbsp milk, 1 Tbsp strawberry jam, 1/4 tsp vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract, and a pinch of fine salt (optional). Froth or shake until the mixture has increased a bit in volume and all the ingredients are incorporated. It should look thicker, but still be a pourable consistency. The goal is to have it kind of partially melt into your drink as you sip it, so be careful not to overwhip it.
Then pour on top of your favorite iced drink and enjoy! This recipe can be doubled or tripled as needed. However, I don't recommend making it ahead of time, as it will lose its consistency.

One batch makes enough cold foam to top one drink (about 1/2 cup once it's frothed up).

Make sure your milk and heavy cream are cold! They'll whip up best straight out of the fridge.
Use good-quality vanilla and strawberry jam! It gives this cold foam all its flavor. I use homemade vanilla extract, but you can also use freeze-dried strawberries or strawberry syrup in place of the strawberry jam.
Make sure you whip or shake the cold foam until it's the right consistency. You want it to be thick and creamy, but you should still be able to pour it out of the container onto your drink.
