Make Milk Foam in Your Microwave for Gourmet Froth at Home
Wish you could get a good froth on your coffee but don't want to shell out for a frother? Cooking weblog The Kitchn details how to make your own gourmet froth at home with your microwave and a mason jar.
You can save a ton and still make amazing coffee at home, but if you miss the finer elements of your coffee shop brew—like, say, a good, frothy foam—you're not out of luck.

自己做咖啡奶泡的簡單方式：
- 把要用份量的牛奶放進有蓋的罐子裡。
- 把罐口盡量轉緊，然後用力搖30秒，讓牛奶起泡、變成原來的兩倍體積。約需30秒時間。
- 打開蓋子，把罐子放進微波爐加熱30秒；此時泡泡會浮上表面、並透過加熱定形。
- 將牛奶用湯匙舀進咖啡裡，最後再將泡泡舀到咖啡表面。
前兩天還看到凱洛提到一種方式，是將一片鋁箔揉成球，丟進罐子裡，然後再搖。也許這樣會產生更多泡泡，不過之後的加熱應該是個重要的步驟，讓泡泡不會消散。
Except the steps mentioned in the quoted article, my buddy Carol taught us a tip for making more milk foam: take a piece of kitchen aluminum foil and rub it loosely into a ball; put the ball into the milk then shake.
I think this should produce more bubble then just shaking the jar, but the heating process is an essential step to keep the bubbles in shape. Will try next time. :)
