How to Froth Milk

Step 1

Heat the milk in a microwave safe measuring cup (like pyrex) or bowl for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. You don’t want to milk to boil – it should be steaming hot when it’s ready. Depending on your microwave you may need more or less time. You can also warm the milk in a saucepan on the stove.

Step 2

Immersion blender: if you use this method, pour the hot milk into a narrow container with high sides. The milk should cover the head of the immersion blender. Run the blender for a minute or two or until the milk has developed a frothy foam.

Step 3

You can also use a regular stand blender, just pour the milk into it and pulse several times until the milk bubbles and foams.

Step 4

Pour the coffee into the mugs. Pour the frothed milk (use a spoon to hold back the foam) and then spoon the milk foam on top. If you want to get fancy garnish with a dusting of cinnamon or cocoa powder.
