Which is sad, because I’ve totally been into fancier drinks like lattes lately. Usually I’m just a plain old black coffee drinker, but since I’ve been trying to add protein into my diet wherever I can, I’ve been drinking my coffee with lots of milk. And foamy, steamed milk is so good.

I’ve been debating getting an espresso maker, or at least a milk frother for a while now, but I recently learned you can make frothed milk in the microwave. How fun is that? All you need is a jar with a lid. A mason jar or even an old (washed) glass peanut butter or pickle jar will do. It involves a little vigorous shaking. Just think of it as your morning workout.

Lately I seem to be running late for everything, all the time. I’m always a pretty early riser but I seem to just dawdle around and find things to do (important things, like checking SnapChat) until I only have 30 minutes to shower, eat, get ready and get out the door. Every time I do it, I wonder why I did this to myself. But then I do it again!

One thing that’s been suffering is my morning coffee! Nick bought some crazy fancy coffee maker that’s great except for the fact that it seriously takes like 20 minutes to brew coffee. And when I’m trying to make it in a rush, that just doesn’t work. Even our little French press takes a while since I need to boil water for it and then wait for it to steep.

HOW TO FROTH MILK IN YOUR MICROWAVE

FAQ

Can you microwave milk to make a latte?

Heat in the microwave 30–60 seconds (after 30 seconds, you might want to check every 10 seconds) until the milk is warm to the touch, but not so hot it burns your finger. Put the lid on the jar and shake vigorously. This will give you a nice foamy milk that makes a nice latte when you add it to your coffee.

How do you warm up milk for lattes?

Pour milk into a small saucepan and place the pan on the stove over low-medium heat. As the milk warms, quickly beat it with a balloon whisk, being careful not to splatter too much milk while doing so! Alternatively, you can also use a handheld frother that whisks while the milk heats up on the pan.

How do you heat up milk in the microwave?

Heat it in the microwave. One cup (250 mL) of milk should reach room temperature within 45 seconds and boil within two and a half minutes. Stir it every 15 seconds to keep it from boiling over. You can also try setting your microwave to 70 percent power for a slower boil.
