FOAMMMMMM!! That is skim milk, folks, and I found a new (to me) use for my French Press! :D
- I heated 1/2-3/4cup of skim milk on the stove in a saucepan (don't let it boil, but make sure it's extra hot...low and slow).
- Then, when your coffee is done, pour it into a mug and rinse the French Press.
- Pour your steamy, hot milk into the French Press.
- Pump it until you can pump no more... (If you only use 1/2-3/4cup like I did, you will have to tilt the french press in order for it to work...but work it does!! YAY!).
- Pour the foam-y milk mixture into your mug and top with a dash of cinnamon, cocoa or something festive! Enjoy!
I would purchase a French Press solely for this reason if you do not have one...they only cost about $15. And that is $15 WELL SPENT!
One fabulous start to my day...
Different Bowl, Same Supercalifragalisticexpialadocious Mix (OMG...so that song (the Mary Poppins Supercali...Song) just started to play on the TV right after I typed that...wierd...Regis & Kelly always keep me on my toes!).
One more picture...simply because I am obsessed.
As if this morning wasn't good enough, I won some Kay's Naturals products from Lynn and Christy of The Actor's Diet! I have been wanting to try these for so long! (I just found out that I also won some Heart Thrives from Monica!). After Regis & Kelly are done making me laugh, I'm going for a run!

(Going to the store to buy a French Press should probably be added to your list...)
*Have you ever made foam with a French Press?
look atchu miss barista... you make my coffee look like bath water!
ReplyDeleteGenius! When I couchsurfed in Austria, one of the girls I stayed with made the most amazing lattes I have EVER had (seriously), using a French press to foam!
ReplyDeleteI may consider the french press for the purpose of foan because I am utterly retarded when it comes to using my espresso machine steamer to make foam/steamed milk/frotherd milk whatev! I always make a mess bigger than anything I have have seen before. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteNice French Press action! Foam is the best part of a cuppa joe, no?
ReplyDeleteso jealous you know how to make foam!! i wish I could make that!! foam is the best part after all :)
ReplyDeleteFOAM! Love it. My parents let me have the foam from their lattes since i was like 6 months old...lol it was kind of weird for other people to hear a toddler request a "latte" out in public though. i didn't realize you could use a french press to foam!
ReplyDeleteive never made foam! i LOVE it tho..so frothy and chic :)
ReplyDeletethat IS pretty clever! fun way to make foam. have you seen those $2 frothers at ikea? my new roommate has one and it works wonders!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on winning those goodies! I had no idea you could make foam in a french press...all the more reason for me to buy one now!
ReplyDeleteI've never cared for lattes or any fancy coffee drink, but I must admit the foam is fun
ReplyDeletethat looks amazing- never done it but looks delicious :)
ReplyDeleteI had no idea the French press would do that! I love mine. I'll have to try it out. I wonder if almond or hazelnut milk will foam at all.
ReplyDeletewow look at all the foam! congrats on winning the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteThat foam looks like so much fun! I would try it on like everything, haha. Congrats on winning the giveaway!

Oh my gosh I feel like an idiot! I have a french press and just got a milk frother for Christmas which I begged someone to buy me... HAHA. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteWell I sure love French Press coffee...never made foam with it, but for $15?! Sounds like that might be an important investment to make for my spring semester ;)!
ReplyDeleteMy mom bought a cappuchino maker once, and I used to use the frother constantly. I used it so much that I decided to purchase just a hand held frother. I swear I used it 3 times a day! I was obsessed. I love frothed milk. I also like to add flavor shots, like vanilla or caramel!
ReplyDeleteYES! I make foam all the time with my french press....LOVE it!
ReplyDeleteNot with a french press - only the espresso machine @ work.
ReplyDeleteMmmmm, love that foam!! I wish I had a french press.
