Steaming/Frothing Instructions
When steaming milk at home for delicious
coffee-based drinks, always start with fresh,
cold milk and steam only what you are going
to use right away. For best results, we prefer
using non-fat or skim milk, which produces
light, voluminous foam, but feel free to
experiment. Keep in mind that the consistency
of the foam will vary depending on what type
of milk is used. It is always best to froth your
milk right before serving.
To Steam and Froth Milk at Home:
Fill a small to medium saucepan, no more
than halfway, with cold milk and place over
medium heat. Heat the milk until steam begins
rising off the surface, but no bubbles have
formed. Remove the pan from the heat and
using a frother or immersion blender on low
speed, process milk until the desired amount
of froth is produced. If you do not own a
frother or an immersion blender, you can whip
the milk by hand with a wire whisk, but be
ready to put some effort into it! Pour the milk
into your espresso or coffee, using a spoon to
hold back the foam. Scoop foam on top and
serve.
Alternately, if using a microwave, pour milk
into microwave-safe mug or container and
heat until steam begins to rise off the milk’s
surface (be careful milk does not boil over).
Carefully remove from microwave and froth
milk as described above.
