How to Make Milk Froth in Your Microwave

The Kitchn shares a neat tip on making milky foaminess for your morning coffee without investing in any fancy contraptions. All you need is a jar and a microwave. Pour the amount of milk you'll want in your coffee into the jar, put the top on, shake it up real good for 30 seconds, remove the lid, microwave this for 30 seconds, and voila. Two-percent milk does the trick or be more indulgent with cream or half-and-half.

@gargupie: You remove the lid before microwaving the jar!

Thanks Erin. But I also heard that it's best not to heat dairy in the microwave.

I've been scalding milk in the microwave for years. give it a good stir before adding it to coffee, it's excellent. Honestly, this works better than the cheap steamer my ex had!
