TO STEAM MILK

Grab a stainless steel jug and add enough milk so that it comes up to the base of the spout. 

Slide the wand down the jug spout so the tip is just below the surface of the milk and the wand is resting in the spout. 

Tilt the jug slightly to one side andturn the wand on to full power. 

Bring the tip right to the surface of the milk. Now, the milk will make a slurping noise and start to spin. 

‘Stretch’ the milk so you have enough foam for the coffee drink you want to make. 

To stop the process, raise the jug slightly and let the milk churn in a whirlpool. Turn the wand off when the jug is too hot to touch for more than a second. 

Slide the wand out and wipe clean with a damp sponge. 

Pour milk into coffee.
