Foam at Home.

Okay I may be just catching on to this, but I found out this super rad secret the other day.  I say secret, but really I just googled a question and found an answer. Did you know that you can make foamy milk, for a latte, at home, with no espresso machine? What? I didn’t and my life is forever changed.  So if there are any other coffee fanatics out there who didn’t know this either, I’m here to teach you.  I think I’ve perfected it at this point. What cha need:

• coffee (duh)
• milk
• a jar of sorts (i use my husbands blender bottle or one of pennys sippy cups…cuz…classy.)
• a spoon

What cha do:

• brew dat coffee and pour it in yo cup (just like any other day)
• pour some milk in your jar and shake shake shake it up…make sure its nice and bubbly
• take the lid off your jar and microwave for 30 seconds
• remove jar and tap it on your counter a few times.  tamping it down gets the foam to settle and be less bubbles, more thick barista skilled foam
• take a spoon and hold back the foam.  get your coffee nice and milky.
• scoop foam out of jar and flop it on top.

VIOALA!  A latte of sorts right from your kitchen.  Once I found this out Ive been sort of switching my daily black cup for a little bit “fancier” latte in the morning.  It makes it feel special…when really it’s just dunkin’ donuts french vanilla and a little low fat.  But, hey, whatever perks the day

Happy Monday friends.  Go get ’em.
