How to Froth Milk

"I've found that a milk frother is the best way to get frothy foam for a latte. For months I avoided it and used a French press before I decided to bite the bullet and try a frother. After testing it out, I was impressed! It's fast, easy, and makes incredibly frothy foam bubbles. You can get away with using less milk than with other methods, it froths non-dairy milk easily, and it even froths cold milk (which is nearly impossible using other methods)."

"Important: use fresh milk! Fresh milk is key to getting the best foam. If your milk has been in the fridge for a few weeks, it might not foam. (Trust me, I've had this issue.) The best way to ensure good foam is milk that's as fresh as possible. Whole milk works best, because it has the highest milkfat. 2% also works.

Use a handheld milk frother, French press, or whisk to produce cafe-quality frothed milk at home for lattes, cappuccinos, and other drinks. A handheld frother is the most effective tool: it creates dense, frothy bubbles quickly, works with less milk, handles non-dairy milks, and can froth cold milk. Alternatives like a French press or a whisk work but may require more milk or effort. Fresh milk produces the best foam; whole milk yields creamier foam while 2% also performs well. Some non-dairy milks such as oat milk can foam, though results vary.
