Who doesn’t love their $5 lattes, show of hands? Who likes paying $5 for them? That’s what I thought. In an effort to save some money and not go to Starbucks every weekend. I have started to make lattes at home.

What’s the key ingredients for a latte? Frothed milk and espresso. How does milk become frothy? Air and heat. I decided to try to froth my own milk using a mason jar.

How to froth milk in a mason jar

Fill your mason jar about half way. Place lid on the jar securely and shake for one minute. Make sure to shake it good. Remove the lid and microwave. The lid is metal so make sure you don’t put it in the microwave. Microwave the mason jar for 30 seconds and make sure to watch it because the foam will rise and you don’t want it to over flow. Now take your brewed coffee. I made an 10oz of coffee but you can also use 2 shots of espresso. 

Pour the warm milk into you coffee and spoon excess foam from the jar on the top of your latte. Sprinkle with cinnamon and enjoy!
