Frothed milk means aerated milk

When drinking barista made Latte we always ask why the homemade Coffee with milk doesn’t taste so good. 100% you have noticed how baristas work with milk and coffee, this is magic. High quality Latte is the cocktail of professionally frothed milk, high quality coffee and professionalism of coffee master.
So giving you the understanding of what is this “Frothed milk”, I should mention the air first of all. Air bubbles is something that helps milk become thicker, adds creamy mouthfeel to the milk. So basically frothed milk is made by aerating ordinary milk.

Here are few ways how to aerate milk at home easily:

1-Use a French Press! Yes, simple French press helps not only with making coffee, but this frothing milk as well. Al you need is just to pour milk in the French Press and then pump the holder until foamy bubbles form. It takes around 30 second of quick short plunges.

2-Second idea is to use a whisk. This method will take a little longer and bubbles will not look that big as when frothing milk with French Press. But still as an option whisk the milk to vigorously whisk it until foamy bubbles form and get your frothed milk ready.

3-You can buy special Frothing wand, electrical tool to aerate milk. It costs around 5 pounds and it does it’s job perfectly.

Hope you found this useful and soon will have great homemade latte.

Caffe Latte

What will you need:

  • - 1 tablespoon L'don coffe
  • - 1 cup whole milk
Order your coffee

Let's get it started

  • Prepare espresso shot and pour into mug once brewed. In a separate container, froth heated milk and optional sweetener using your preferred method. Enhance your frothing skills by visiting our milk frothing guide. Then gently pour your frothed milk into your mug until it’s almost full.

Cappucino

What will you need:

  • - 2 tablespoons finely ground dark roast coffee
  • - 4 ounces water
  • For the Foamed Milk:
  • 4 ounces milk
Order your coffee

Let's get it started

  • Make espresso using a coffee machine and pour it into the base of your cup. Steam the milk with the steamer attachment so that it has around 4-6cm of foam on top. Hold the jug so that the spout is about 3-4cm above the cup and pour the milk in steadily. As the volume within the cup increases, bring the jug as close to the surface of the drink as possible whilst aiming to pour into the centre. Once the milk jug is almost touching the surface of the coffee, tilt the jug to speed up the rate of pour. As you accelerate, the milk will hit the back of the cup and start naturally folding in on itself to create a pattern on the top. Dust the surface with a little cocoa powder if you like.

  • - 2 shots of espresso L'don Espresso Roast Whole Bean Coffee

As the foam starts to come out, continue to pour until you get a dot in the middle. Feel free to try your hand at latte art!
