This coffee drink uses the aeration container to create that unique milk foam that cappuccinos and machiattos are well known for.

INGREDIENTS

1 cup (240 ml) warm skim milk, approximately 160°F [70°C]
6 ounces (180 ml) espresso, brewed hot
sweetener if desired

DIRECTIONS

1. Place warmed milk into the Vitamix container and secure the lid. Select the lowest setting. Start the machine, slowly increase to Variable 6, and blend for 45 seconds.
2. Stop the machine and remove the lid.
3. Portion 1 cup (240 ml) milk foam into each cup and top with 3 ounces (90 ml) espresso.
4. Sweeten if desired.

Chef's Notes

Important: This recipe only works with skim milk. Also, it's best to heat the milk in a microwave or on the stovetop to a slow simmer (around 160°F [70°C]). When done aerating, the volume will double. If only making a half recipe for a single serving, reduce blending time to 30 seconds.
