How to Steam Milk
Items Needed
- Stainless Steel Pitcher
- Milk
- Frothing Thermometer
- Steam Wand
Instructions
- Keep the milk inside the refrigerator and make it as much cold as possible. The colder the milk, the better will be the steaming.
- Put a medium-sized stainless steel pitcher in the refrigerator. Keep it there till it feels cold to the touch.
- Pour the cold milk in the pitcher till it gets half-full. The empty half is for the milk to foam properly.
- Attach a frothing thermometer to your pitcher. Ideally, steamed milk has temperature between 145 and 170 degrees F.
- Place your pitcher under the steam wand. While doing so, make sure that the tip of the wand touches the bottom of the pitcher.
- Turn on the power and move the pitcher slowly, so as to bring the wand tip ¼ to ½ inch beneath the surface of milk.
- Continue keeping the wand just under the milk's surface, till the time you feel that it has steamed fully.
