Wanting to take your beverage ability to the next level? Guess what, you can do it yourself!
Here's a surprisingly easy way to make your own Frothed Milk at home using a French Press!
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
1 - A French Press
2 - Milk - Any type of milk! This method even works great with almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, hemp milk, really any milk!
3 - A way to heat up your milk -Whether you prefer stove top or microwave, keep a watchful eye, so it doesn’t make a big mess.
STEPS FOR MAKING FROTHED MILK:
1 - Pour warm milk into your French Press - How much milk? Well, the frothing steps will double if not triple the amount of volume, so know how many lattes you want to add froth to before you pour in your milk and base your milk amount on that. You can simmer your milk on the stove to make it the perfect warmth. Be careful to keep you eyes on it so the milk doesn’t burn or simmer over.
2 - Put your french press lid back on the vessel and hold your lid tight while you lift and lower your French Press filter inside quickly. You will need to do this for about 10-15 seconds, but you will start to see the volume increase almost immediately. The more air that gets in the milk, the frothier it will get.
3 - Add your frothed milk to your beverage (check out our blog on making the perfect cup of chai) and enjoy!
