Best Milk Frothers of 2021
Imagine your favorite latte with that creamy top, picture marshmallows floating over a bed of white on steaming hot chocolate. Remember the last time you were impressed by latte art? We owe it all to the same foamy mixture: frothed milk.
What is a Milk Frother?
A frother is a utensil that aerates milk. Tiny air bubbles form and change the milk texture, making it lighter. The change also makes the milk sweeter.
You can add frothed milk to a bevy of beverages, hot or cold. It’s like icing on a cake. A cake can taste great straight out of the oven, but the icing changes the dessert’s appearance and taste.
Froth boosts the flavor of your drink. It’s also a simple way to make your beverage look as good as it tastes.
But how do you get the ultimate aerated milk? Read on to find the best milk frother of 2021.
