FAQ
Yes. It doesn’t froth as well as cow’s milk, but it still does a much better job than almond milk.
Barista oat milk is oat milk that is specially made for lattes. It has a bit more fat so it will froth better and give a thicker latte texture compared to regular oat milk.
Expert Tips
- If you don’t have an electric frother: After steaming the oat milk on the stove, add it to a blender and blend on low.
- Don’t let the oat milk boil. Adjust the temperature as needed to allow the oat milk to heat up as close as possible to boiling, without actually boiling.
