Notes
Milk choice: Whole milk produces the creamiest, richest foam. Oat milk is a great non-dairy option that froths well.
Simple syrup options: Vanilla and caramel are both crowd favorites — plain simple syrup works too if you want just a touch of sweetness.
Temperature: Keep milk between 140°F to 150°F (60 to 65°C). Overheated milk loses its sweetness and can form a film on top.
Make-ahead: Steamed milk is best enjoyed immediately. It won't froth again once it cools.
