Pro Tips

  • Don't let milk boil—it should be steaming hot but not bubbling
  • A handheld milk frother costs $10-15 and creates café-quality foam
  • No frother? Shake hot milk vigorously in a sealed jar for 30 seconds
  • Use a wide mug so you have more surface area for that beautiful foam top

Frequently Asked Questions

Whole milk froths best due to fat content. For plant-based options, oat milk and barista-blend almond milk are specifically designed to froth well. Avoid low-fat or watery plant milks.

Yes! Heat milk, pour into a sealed mason jar (fill only halfway), and shake vigorously for 30-45 seconds. You'll get decent foam without any tools. Just be careful—the jar will be hot!

With 1 tsp honey, it's lightly sweet—much less than coffee shop lattes. The vanilla adds natural sweetness too. Start with no sweetener and add to taste.

Absolutely! Make the mushroom coffee base with hot water, let it cool, then pour over ice with cold milk. For a frothy version, try our Iced Vanilla Cream recipe.
