How to Froth Milk with a Whisk
Follow the Steps Below or Watch the Video Above
STEP 1
Heat the milk to 140°F
Be careful not to let it boil.
A stovetop or a microwave is all you need to effectively heat your milk.
STEP 2
Pour the milk into the mug
Leave space for it to double in volume.
STEP 3
Place the whisk into the milk
Start whisking close to the mug’s base.
STEP 4
Whisk away!
Whisk in circles for 15–20 seconds. When the milk starts to thicken, raise your whisk to just below the froth.
STEP 5
Carefully pull the frother out of the milk
The milk is done frothing once it has doubled in volume.
Don’t forget to switch off the frother before pulling it out of the milk.
