Servings 1
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup Milk of your choice
- 1 tsp Simple syrup optional
- Dash Vanilla extract optional
Instructions
Hand Held Frother
- Pour the milk into a cup with tall sides (to avoid splashing).
- Add your optional sweetener or dash of vanilla.
- Place your hand held frother onto the bottom of the cup, turn on and whisk until frothy. Pour over your drink right away.
In a Jar
- Add milk and optional sweeteners into a jar.
- Close the lid tightly and shake for 1-2 minutes for light foamy. Pour over your drink right away.
Milk Foam Machine
- Pour the milk and optional sweeteners into an electric milk frother.
- Choose the cold foam setting and when its done frothing, pour over your drink right away.
Notes
- Dairy options: Non-fat milk or unsweetened soy milk will yield thicker foam due to the high amounts of protein.
- The thickest foam is made with an electric milk frother and steamer machine but you can also get nice frothy foam using a handheld frother wand.
- Flavoring can be added to foam before whisking. A dash of vanilla adds a slightly warm flavor.
