Friend of Julie: Milk Froth

Being the queen of foamy milk, when I saw this posted on the Facebook support group, I had to add it to the blog. I haven't tried it, but it sounds like an easy way to make frothy milk without needing a gadget, which may be helpful when traveling.

How to Make Milk Froth without a Frother or Machine

Ingredients

• Fresh milk 

Equipment

• Small jar with a lid
• Microwave oven

1. Find a jar with a lid and fill it with as much milk as you normally like in your coffee (or other hot beverage). The milk should fill the jar no more than half way to allow room for the foam.
2. Shake the jar with the lid on as hard as you can until the milk has become frothy and doubled in size. This takes us about 30 seconds.
3. Take the lid off and microwave for another 30 seconds. The foam will rise to the top of the milk and the heat from the microwave will help stabilize it.
4. Pour the milk into your coffee using a spoon to hold back the foam. Then scoop the foam on top!
