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 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 milkÕs surface (be careful milk does not boil over). Carefully remove from microwave and froth milk as described above.
