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 milk’s

surface (be careful milk does not boil over).

Carefully remove from microwave and froth

milk as described above.
