Milk Frother
- 1/2 cup Strong Coffee or Espresso
- 4 oz. Half and Half
First things first: heat the half-and-half in a saucepan over a medium temperature until it is steaming.
Divide the milk into two portions; with the bulk for the steamed half-and-half and the remaining for the foam.
Brew a ½ of strong coffee or double espresso at this point.
The remaining half-and-half should be whipped into foam using a handheld frother.
The last step is to add coffee, steamed half-and-half, and frothed half-and-half to the small serving glass or mug.
