There's nothing quite like enjoying a fresh latte or cappuccino with its rich, foamy milk. And making it at home seems almost impossible; gadgets like the frothing wands are great, but yet another single function thing you may not want cluttering your kitchen.
I inadvertently stumbled upon a new method for getting frothy, steamy milk at home while making myself a warm fall drink. Try it for yourself, all you need is a blender and a microwave (the stove would probably work just as well).
Steamy Foamed Milk
Ingredients
- Milk
- Sweetener or flavorings, optional
Method
- Add milk and sweetener/flavoring, if using, in a blender and blend at high speed for 15-30 seconds.
- Pour mixture into a large microwave safe measuring cup or bowl. Milk will foam and build 3-4 plus times in volume, so choose a large enough vessel.
- Heat milk to desired temperature, about 1-2 minutes.
- Alternatively, heat the milk in a large saucepan over medium to medium high heat until desired temperature is reached.
- Serve immediately as is or with coffee/espresso.

Seriously- blend and heat? That's all it takes?! how have they been hiding this all along!!! Do you reckon it will work with almond or rice milk?
I suppose this isn't technically steamed milk, but I think it's a perfectly acceptable at-home substitute :)
Not sure if it'd work with non-dairy, but it's definitely worth a shot! I've had a rice milk latte before, but they warned me it wouldn't foam quite the same, so let me know if it works for you.
