Can you explain how to use a steam wand?

Sure! To use a steam wand, first, fill your pitcher with cold milk. Submerge the wand just below the surface and turn on the steam. Move the pitcher in a circular motion to create a whirlpool effect, which helps incorporate air into the milk.

How do I know when the milk is frothed enough?

You can tell the milk is frothed enough when it has doubled in volume and has a velvety texture. The temperature should be around 150°F (65°C). You can use a thermometer for accuracy.

What types of milk work best for frothing?

Whole milk froths the best due to its fat content, but you can also use 2% milk or non-dairy alternatives like oat milk, which froth well too.
