  • There's something about having a thick layer of foam in your latte that instantly makes it taste better.

  • And it doesn't have to require one of those fancy machines.

  • Today I'm going to show you how to make frothy milk foam 3 ways.

  • The first way is using a plain old mason jar.

  • I'm filling the mason jar a quarter way up with milk.

  • I'll close it and give it a good shake for 30 seconds.

  • Then all I do now is remove the lid and put it in the microwave for another minute.

  • This warms the milk and stabilizes the foam.

  • Once it's done it's ready to be added to your coffee.

  • The second way is using a French coffee press.

  • I'm adding warm milk about a quarter-way up, and then I'll take the plunger and pump it up and down gently for about a minute.

  • The milk will froth up right before your eyes.

  • What you're doing here is incorporating air to create these tiny little bubbles.

  • Finally, the third way is this nifty frothing wand.

  • You stick the tip of the wand in your warm milk, press a button, and in literally 15 seconds you have a glass of perfectly creamy, decadent foam.

  • Clean up is easy, it's portable, and it's a lot cheaper than one of those fancy machines.

  • My favorite method is the using the french press.

  • It creates the most voluminous and stable foam.

  • But let me know which method works best for you, and I hope this makes the perfect latte on your next coffee break.

  • I'll see you guys next time!

  • Bye.
