“sticky outie thing” she’s so real

[@ImLudaChris]

This is exactly what I was thinking. 😂😂

[@SSDSledDogMusher]

Stick it on ya tongue, make sure battery is good to go

[@dbaldwin237]

That is the technical term - very rarely used by novice frothers

[@cecilianbarrett6417]

My mom thought it was the greatest thing ever making me do that when i was little. Back then "here we go again" was my only thought. Now I'm realizing that she never once needed to know about the batteries. She just got a kick out of making me do it. Lol ​@@SSDSledDogMusher

[@scotty7132]

aka the positive side of the battery!

[@TheYoungVulnerableAnimeGirls]

When she showed us how to go up and down, I felt that.

[@markmyers9216]

I was making coffee and it went everywhere with this lol

[@akiraasmr3002]

same I had the same amount of half and half as her but it foamed all the way to the top of the mug then I tried pouring coffee in another mug then the foamy half and half but then it wasnt really foamy so I used the wand to froth the top of the coffee and it went all over the place.

[@zulaykitchen]

@@akiraasmr3002 Hi there! We got you! We recommend only filling about 1/4 of your cup with milk. We also recommend going in an upwards and downwards motion for around 30 seconds to a minute. It helps if you tilt the cup to the side a bit too! Hope this helps! 😊

Thanks for sharing. It's good to know you don't have to get the metal froth cup to make this work!

I got one yesterday and I was so excited to use it 😂

[@CalibanTaylor]

Now how come when you do it the liquid stays in the cup, but when I do it I’m covered in it? I feel like my frothier hates me

[@RiceFromHell]

I have the same milk frother but i have never used it for milk ( i've used this for making scrambled eggs/omelets) so kinda cool seeing how your suppose to use it

[@zulaykitchen]

Hey! Thanks for sharing! Yes, it's great for scrambled eggs too. As for milk, you can use skim milk or low-fat milk to get the best froth! 😊

[@cher150]

You're supposed to leave the ribbon underneath the batteries that way you can pull them out easily when you need to change them.

[@adayfortea]

Exactly

[@donnahughes9575]

I thought she did that.

[@ItIsYourMom]

Thanks, I just get a brother and didn't know how to use it. I warmed the milk on the stove and added a little sugar to it, then frothed, came out perfect!

[@zulaykitchen]

Good stuff! 😊

[@tarekchahattou]

Thanks you! Would microwaving the foam/milk make a difference?

[@zulaykitchen]

Hi! Thanks for asking! The temperature of the liquid doesn't really matter because the froth comes from the proteins in milk and it'll froth regardless if it's warm or cold. Pro tip, whole milk or cream incorporates air better so they'll froth easily! :)

[@MyPetGoat2U]

Mine came with no instructions. Do I froth the milk and then add the coffee? Will half and half froth better than whole or skim milk?

[@budzlightyear2212]

I use heavy whipping cream frothed with powdered sugar. Add my nice drip coffee(prefer a KONA blend).Excellent every time!!! Starbucks is such a scam. My coffee is pennies on the dollar 💵...

[@Vcize]

Do you pour this on top of the coffee or pour the coffee into the cup? Or do you do this with the coffee already in there?

[@graceyspacey3498]

Before coffee! The oils in coffee and the extra non-cream liquid will make it difficult to create a good foam.

[@Bethellalouise]

Everytime I try froth my milk it just gets loads of bubbles then ends up being just normal cold milk with bubbles on top. Not sure why it’s not working!

[@zulaykitchen]

Hi there! Try a larger container or a different type of milk. Skim or low-fat milk works best. Then, fill 1/4 of your cup with milk and froth away! We recommend generally going in an upwards and downwards motion for around 30 seconds to a minute. It helps if you tilt the cup to the side a bit too! Hope this helps! 😊

[@CinemaDemocratica]

I heat my milk before frothing. Seems to help.

[@zulaykitchen]

@@CinemaDemocratica that's great! It works whether it's hot or cold. 😊

[@lilid26]

Hello, Zulay Kitchen, on another comment below you wrote whole milk or cream as a pro tip for better results, I'm confused lol...which will give better results? Whole, skim, low, fat, cream?

[@arianahi]

@@lilid26 hey! just tried it with whole milk and it frothed really well really quick! i recommend pouring milk about 1/5th into the cup. it rose up to the rim after i finished frothing it

[@kristenlandman8605]

Sorry if this has been and answered, but once frothed then what? Do you poor coffee in the mug or the frothed milk on top of coffee in a different mug? Also glad to see you don’t have to use metal container to froth. I will be trying again with my oat milk.

[@jZamora87]

the milk is supposed to be heated to about 60 celius but not more then froth then pour into espresso or moka coffee.

[@manager507]

the milk was at a special temperature or at what temperature do you recommended

[@zulaykitchen]

Best temperature is about 140 Fahrenheit. We made a new updated video with more full instructions as needed. For example, more wide cups are more helpful: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joHagaKVnq53qNU

[@movoyemickele]

Can it be applied to cold milk? I don't want to use steam since it contains water.

[@zulaykitchen]

Check out this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/joHagaKVnq53qNU For cold milk, skim milk makes the best and most foam. if you have whole milk, it's recommended that you use HOT (not warm) milk. Hope that helps! The video above shows how it affects the foam in full :)

[@gigifanatic1423]

Thank u for sharing

[@Mariekr49]

So I came on here because I tried this was some whole milk it did not froth st all. I bought the exact same one not sure what I’m doing wrong

[@usmanghani-pr3ws]

the legend says it still goes on and on

[@NerakGreen]

I’m looking to buy one for home use, maybe for on the road. Thanks for showing how quick and easy it is to use. I feel a lot less intimidated by it now. Watch me pull out my electric toothbrush first, like in Sheetz or Royal Farms, while trying to look all bougie. I just know that’ll happen. For a frozen latte, use ice, milk, and hot cocoa mix. I twice brew my coffee real strong and add a 3 milk, 1 coffee ratio (fam don’t do coffee). As long as toppings fit through straw, u can fold them into ur blend. Before pouring, drizzle the cup with cocoa/caramel syrup. Presentation matters. Reuse ur fancy McFrappe cup if u can. I’m sure there’s one in the car we could soak and scrub up a few times. Waste not, right?!

[@JuliaStories]

Thanks

[@zulaykitchen]

Absolutely!

Sure thing! Various milks and creamers will give different consistencies but all submit to being frothed! :)

Hi! Yes, you can froth flavored creamers! Results do vary based on the type of milk/creamer you use as well as the temperature of it. Check out our other video showing the different types of milk/creamer being frothed here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXizcnevn8R3l9E

If making a hot latte would you warm the milk up before hand?

[@zulaykitchen]

Hi! Yes, you can! But take note that the temperature of the liquid doesn't really matter because the froth comes from the proteins in milk and it'll froth regardless if it's warm or cold. ❤️

[@neon_lights]

Should i do this in a different cup and then add this to the cup with raw coffee or add the raw coffee in this cup?

[@xkristine]

depends on what drink you’re making. always froth in a seperate cup. for a latte, put the frothed milk in the cup first then followed by your raw coffee, however things like cappucinos start with the raw coffee then add your milk

[@hondagoal]

Good Job.

You have to incorporate air. Hence, it shouldn't be touching the base if the cup.
