GUIDE TO MILK

TEXTURING

Milk texturing is the steaming of milk. The steam does two things; it heats the milk and mixes air with the milk to form a foamy texture. As with learning to make an espresso, perfecting the art of milk texturing takes time and practice.

1.Determine how much milk is needed based on the number of cups being made.

TIP: Keep in mind that the volume of milk will increase during the texturing.

2.Pour cold refrigerated milk into the stainless frothing pitcher, approximately ½ full.

3.Press the steam button which will flash, and become solid when unit is ready for use.

4.Purge the steam wand of any water. With the steam wand positioned over the drip tray, activate the steam function by turning the steam and hot water control dial to the left (23). Once any water has been purged

stop the steam by turning the steam and hot water control dial to the O position (24).

5.Swing the steam wand to the side of the espresso machine (25).

6.Place the steam wand into the milk so that the nozzle is about a half-inch below the

surface and activate the steam function by turning the steam and hot water control dial to left (26).

7.Angle the pitcher so that the steam wand is resting on the spout of the pitcher and lower the pitcher until the tip of the steam nozzle is just below the surface of the milk. This will start to create a whirlpool action in the milk (27).

NOTE: Do not allow the steam to spurt unevenly or it will create aerated froth/large bubbles. If this is happening, raise the pitcher so that the steam nozzle is lowered farther into the milk.

8.As the steam heats and textures the milk, the level of the milk in the pitcher will begin to rise. As this happens, follow the level of the milk by lowering the pitcher, always keeping the tip of the steam nozzle just below the surface.

9.Once the foam is created, raise the pitcher until the steam nozzle is in the center of the milk.
