Kitchen Quick Tips - Frothing Cappuccino

kitchen quick tips
Cold skim milk is the best choice for achieving a full froth for cappuccino. Why? The proteins in the milk have been absorbed which gives stability to the bubbles at the liquid's surface so you get a longer lasting froth.

Skim milk is one of those acquired tastes. I love a heavy cream in my coffee but with cappuccino that skim milk really makes a difference. The nice thing is I'm not getting all the calories of my normal heavy cream so that has to count for something :)
