Shake it up: 9 tips to make your coffee creamy, frothy

Use cold milk Cold milk froths better than room-temperature milk because it allows more time for air to be incorporated, creating a smooth and creamy foam.

Skimmed milk Choosing the correct milk is necessary to make the fluffiest froth. Avoid using full cream milk and go for skimmed milk for that froth. 

Use espresso machine Using an espresso machine will give you the perfect froth. Use the machine to froth your milk to perfection, with no fear of burnt or subpar froth.

Handheld milk frother A handheld electric frother is an affordable and easy way to froth milk. It is the easiest way to make froth for that perfect coffee since it is handy and easy to use.

Make a coffee base first The key to a great frothy coffee is to have a strong base. Make  sure your coffee is rich and bold so the froth adds texture and flavour. 

Add sweeteners or flavourings If you like flavoured coffee, you can add flavoured syrups to the milk before frothing. This helps to infuse the flavour in the milk. 

Heat milk the correct way Heating milk  around 60-70 degrees Celsius will give you a smoother froth. It is important to note that there will be no froth if the milk is too hot.

Use a jar Using a jar will help you make frothing easy for you. Just pour the hot milk in it and shake it vigorously until the milk turns frothy. Let the foam settle and then pour it into the coffee.
