Notes
Frothed Milk
Frothing your milk is totally optional, but definitely makes these oats more fun to enjoy. You can froth your milk a few different ways. You can use a regular frothing machine or a handheld frother if you have it available. If using a machine, set it to heat and froth your milk. If using a handheld device, heat up your milk in the microwave for a minute until it’s hot. With your handheld frother, just place into the milk and begin to froth your milk until some foam forms at the top. If using a handheld frother, just note that it is recommended you opt for a barista style milk that is easiest to froth.
