Froth milk without a machine

draft · verifying asked 185 ways distilled today
  1. 1

    Heat the milk first.

    Sixty to sixty-five degrees, steaming but never boiled. Boiled milk will not hold foam.

  2. 2

    Whole milk froths easiest.

    Fat stabilises the bubbles. Oat barista blends are the best plant option.

  3. 3

    Pump it in a french press.

    Fill a third, plunge fast for twenty seconds. The mesh makes microfoam.

  4. 4

    Or shake it in a jar.

    Half-full, lid tight, thirty seconds of shaking, then microwave thirty more to set the foam.

  5. 5

    Swirl, tap, pour at once.

    A swirl and a tap knock out the big bubbles. Foam waits for no one.

#1 becomes the Core. This atoma is young: submit a better distillation and take the seat.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
