    Does it make a difference what type of milk you use? Whole, 2%, skim?

    Hi Sandra, this technique works will all milk types. Shake it up!

    Cool trick! Whisking over the stove works well, too.

    This is great! I bought a foamer about 6 months ago that sometimes doesn’t work right. I wish I’d known about this then. Will DEFINITELY use this trick from now on. :)

    Sandra, Christine, I’ve found that the less fat, the better the foam.

    But I bet it won’t work with soy or almond milk?
