How to Froth Milk With a Milk Frother?
The first thing you need to know is that the milk you choose must be fresh, do not use milk that has been refrigerated for several days because you will not get the result you want. Whole milk gives you better foam, of course, you can also use low-fat milk and kinds of milk such as almond milk and soy milk, but the result is better with whole milk because it has more fat and this helps to form foam.
In a small saucepan, add milk. Heat on the stove until the steam rises. (Do not boil it.) Then pour the milk into a cup or milk-frothing jug. Do not fill the entire cup, leaving room for milk foam.
The time of frothing the milk with the frother depends on the drink we are going to make. If you are going to make a latte, you have to make small bubbles with the frother, and if you are going to make a cappuccino, you have to make larger bubbles, and you need more time to froth it. It takes about 30 seconds if you want more froth you need more seconds.
