- How to Froth Milk: If using a milk frother, add the milk to the frother and heat according to the manufacturer’s instructions. To froth the milk using the microwave or stovetop, heat the milk for 1 minute in the microwave or just until it starts to steam on the stovetop. Carefully transfer the milk to a mason jar and shake for 45 seconds, or until the milk has formed a thick froth. Be careful – the milk will be hot! Make sure to fully secure the lid and wrap the mason jar in a towel, if needed.
- For even more flavor, add a caramel or chocolate syrup drizzle on top.
- This recipe can be easily doubled!
- Sweetener is optional but feel free to add as per taste.
