What milk to use to make milk froth?

How to Make Homemade Milk Froth? The Easy Recipe WITHOUT Machine.

I tested this trick with skimmed milk, semi-skimmed milk and whole milk.

Good news:you can froth any type of milk.

Indeed, it is mainly the main milk proteins (caseins) which help to form foam.

Thanks to their surfactant properties, caseins enclose air bubbles in the liquid.

Fat content different types of milk only affects the texture of the froth.

Thus, whole milk makes it possible to obtain a creamy foam, which maintains a beautiful silky texture.

For my part, I prefer skimmed milk, because it gives a firmer and more abundant foam.

Semi-skimmed milk provides a good compromise between quantity, taste, smoothness and firmness.

Are you allergic to lactose? I also have good news for you!

This trick also works with vegetable milk, preferably almond or soy milk.

Additional advice

- Use a small jar. If the jar is too big, you will have trouble frothing the milk when shaking it.

- Heat the milk BEFORE shaking it. I tried shaking the milk before heating it, but the bubbles always go away. For this method to work, heat your milk before shaking.

- Know that for only €2.99, you can also buy a PRODUKT milk frother from IKEA. It's a kind of mini whisk that you dip into the milk to froth it easily.

- You can also make delicious milk froth using a French press. Pour a little milk into the carafe of the coffee maker and move the plunger back and forth for a few minutes. In a short time, you get a nice, thick and creamy milk froth.
