Which Milk Works Best for Frothing?
- Whole milk: Best foam — rich, creamy, stable
- Oat milk: Best plant-based option — froths well, slightly sweet
- Almond milk: Lighter foam, less stable
- Soy milk: Good foam but can curdle at high temperatures
- Skim milk: Very stiff foam but less creamy
Tips for Perfect Foam Every Time
- Always use cold milk — it froths better than warm
- Fill your frother or jug no more than halfway — foam doubles in volume
- Clean your frother immediately after use to prevent milk residue
- For latte art, aim for microfoam — silky with no large bubbles
