1

Choose the Right Milk

Start by selecting the perfect milk for frothing. Whole milk is known for its creamy texture, but you can also experiment with alternatives like oat milk or almond milk. Just keep in mind that different types of milk can produce varied results.

2

Prep Your Equipment

Make sure your milk frother or steam wand is clean and in good working condition. Inspect the parts and remove any residue or buildup. Also, ensure that you have a suitable pitcher or cup for frothing.

3

Measure and Pour

Measure the desired amount of milk for your Charcoal Latte into the pitcher or cup. It's generally recommended to froth about twice the volume of the final desired amount, as the milk will expand during the frothing process.

Froth Away!

Now comes the fun part! Start frothing your milk using your preferred method. If using a milk frother, follow the manufacturer's instructions. If using a steam wand, keep the tip just below the surface of the milk and angle it to create a whirlpool effect. Move the pitcher or cup in a circular motion to evenly distribute heat and create creamy foam.

5

Tap and Swirl

Gently tap the pitcher or cup on a sturdy surface to eliminate any large bubbles. Then, give it a quick swirl to incorporate the foam into the milk, creating a smooth and velvety texture.

Pour and Enjoy

With your magnificently frothed milk ready, it's time to pour it into your prepared Charcoal Latte. Pour slowly and in a controlled manner to create latte art or simply achieve a beautiful layered effect. Admire your creation, snap a photo if you're feeling fancy, and savor every sip!
