TIPS ON HOW TO STEAM MILK

Use a stainless steel pitcher (about 400ml) and fill it half full with FRESH cold milk.

Before placing the steaming rod into the pitcher turn on steam until all the water has been replaced by steam. Place into the pitcher at the bottom. The pitcher will make a screeching sound. Move the pitcher down until the nozzle of the rod is just below the surface of the milk. When milk has risen almost to the top of the pitcher move the nozzle back down to the bottom for about 5 more seconds. The bottom should be too hot to touch. Turn off steam and pour or spoon the milk into the drink.
