Milk frothing is the process of incorporating air into milk to create a light, creamy texture. This is commonly done using a steam wand, a frother, or a whisk. The result is a foamy layer that enhances the flavor and presentation of beverages like cappuccinos and lattes. Frothing works best with whole milk due to its higher fat content, which creates a richer foam. The milk is heated while air is introduced, causing the proteins to stabilize the bubbles. Proper frothing techniques can significantly improve the quality of coffee drinks and other milk-based beverages.
