CLANCY ROSE: So now, we move on to the milk for this single latte. Take you steaming pitcher
and your milk, and for a single latte, you have one ounce of espresso in this cup, it's
about 13 ounces of milk, 14 ounces total. For that size drink, I'm going to fill it
up to about right there where that ridges inside the pitcher and you're going to be
ready to steam. So what I'm going to do to steam the milk for a single latte is drop
the steam wand down in to where this tip of the steam wand is below the surface of the
milk and turn on the steam wand. There's then three processes that go into steaming the
milk for the latte and the first is after I turn it on, I have the tip on the steam
one submerged below the surface of the milk with the steam one resting in this ridge and
I have the pitcher held at the right angle, so that the milk is swirling inside the pitcher.
You got to keep it swirling until right when you feel the milk warm up. You feel it kind
of match the temperature of your hand and its right at about 100 degrees and then you're
going to want to drop it down toward the tip of the steam wand is just above the surface
of the milk. That's going to start introducing air into the milk and that's where you make
your foam. Now that we're making a latte, you're not going to do that quite as long
as you would for a cappuccino. See there's less foam goes into a latte. The third step
is then bring your pitcher back up, submerge the tip back into the milk, and keep swirling
until you reach the right temperature.
