In a café, you use a professional rig that not only steam brews your espressos, but has an attachment that allows you to heat the milk while creating the soft, pillowy foam to crown the top of the beverage. It takes a bit of practice, but for some reason, we always found beginners made the best foam. It is this airy topping that brings folks out to coffee shops to spend at least five dollars or more on something they cannot easily make at home without spending hundreds to do so.
Until now.
You see, I've stumbled across an ingenious way to make café quality milk foam right at home - with a mason jar and a microwave. Sounds kinda ghetto, doesn't it? Well, once you try this technique, you will be laughing at all those Starbucks hipsters desperately waiting in line like chumps. You'll have the secret that baristas around the world would never...eh, whatever. Here’s the directions:



Chai Tea Latte
1 cup hot chai tea, well steeped
1 tsp raw honey (or other sweetener, optional)
A few drops of vanilla extract
Warm milk and foam
1 tsp raw honey (or other sweetener, optional)
A few drops of vanilla extract
Warm milk and foam
Pour the honey and vanilla into the tea, stirring gently. Gradually add the milk, and stir until blended. Spoon the foam over top, and sprinkle cinnamon to serve.
