The perfect frothy milk can truly elevate your coffee, but not everyone has a milk frother at hand. For this reason, we are sharing this brief video by Erica from her channel Buttered Side Up. In this helpful video, Erica demonstrates and explains various techniques to achieve that lovely frothy milk, even without a frother or fancy espresso machine.
How to froth milk with a whisk
The simplest way to create frothy milk is by using a whisk. First, warm your milk, then whisk it briskly for one to two minutes until you reach the desired amount of frothiness.
How to froth milk with a hand mixer
A more effective way to froth milk is by using a hand mixer. Start by warming the milk, then use a hand mixer on medium speed until you achieve the desired frothiness. This method creates a slightly better quality froth compared to using a whisk.
How to froth milk with a blender
Most people have a blender at home, which makes this method easy to try. Warm your milk gently, but be careful not to make it too hot, especially if your blender jug is plastic. It's a good idea to put a tea towel over the lid to stop any hot milk from splashing around. Blend at a medium speed for about one minute. The froth you get from this method is better than the first two methods.
How to froth milk with a French press
Frothing milk with a French press is easy and efficient. The process is very simple: first, warm your milk, then pour it into the glass beaker, and finally, pump the handle up and down for about eight to 10 seconds.Â
The best milk for frothing
If you're looking to froth milk, whole milk is a great option. It has a good amount of fat and protein, which gives it a sweet and rich taste, as well as a creamy texture that produces thick foam. Dairy milk is the top choice for frothing, thanks to its perfect balance of fats, proteins, and sugar. If you prefer non-dairy options, oat milk is also a great choice, as it has a similar creaminess and richness to dairy milk.
