1. Milk steaming intro: Hi, my name's Sarah, British, trainer here for the coffee, Dr. today's class we're going to learn all about steaming milk and the varieties of milk, which has all the precursor to LaTeX. 2. Milk varieties available: In today's market, there are wide variety of milks out there. Everything from dairy milk, the plant-based milk. There are milks for people who are allergic to dairy milk, which is where you would have something like soy milk. There are people who lead it to soil, which might, you might have something like almond milk. In this class, we're going to learn how to steam them out. The different ways of steaming it in as much as the different drink perforations. So with or without loose essentially or with just a little bit. I'm also going to go over how and types of milk react with coffee, e.g. soy milk is extraordinarily difficult to create latae art. That doesn't mean that they drink tastes bad and factor she tastes quite nice. So today I've got two small selection of milk to show you. Let's start off with the ones that we all know. So, UHT milk, this is full-fat, UHT milk, UHT has simply means that it's been treated at ultra-high temperature, hence the name UHT, which means that you don't have to keep it in the fridge, wait until the point you are going to use it, and therefore the shelf-life As much longer. Whereas the other end of the scale, you've got fresh dairy milk from the cow, so to speak. And it would only last 48 to 72 h in the fridge before it turns. Practicality side, UHT, milk. I certainly prefer to use it in a coffee shop simply for logistics and other, UHT, semi-skilled. And then we have some other options. So we have soy milk, we have oat milk. Just for variety. We have an almond milk. Steaming all of these, I'm going to show you the basic techniques. We'll see how we go from there. 3. Jugs & steaming techniques: We're going to dismiss steaming, going to use a small joke today for this exercise. And there's a hack while you're practicing steaming milk without wasting milk is one drop of washing up liquid. Now obviously this isn't smoke, don't drink it. But you'll be amazed at how this acts. Because you can say in hit, fill up with water just to below the beak. Which is to say just but I just put it aside here. Good morning. Make sure you can see that. Here we go out a bit to bear. They just let the steam will do it itself. Just mixing, put anything else. Check the bottom with your two fingers. And when he gets almost finished, again to purge that steam will then say, without burning ourselves back down. Now look, what's happened to that milk are what? Give it a swirl. That should look like the texture of thick paint. We don't want any big bubbles in there. But that is just water with a tiny drop of liquid, which has an excellent way to practice. And the bonuses, obviously it's going to clean your steam wand and your truck. So we looked at the steam wand just below the surface of the liquid, the steam wonder if I can get a nice close-up shot for you. You've got these holes. You see the hallway just at the bottom here. There are four of these older on the edge. And the idea is you want these host just put her the surface of the liquid you're steaming, which creates bouncing off aside a turbulent and it spins. I'll do a diagram to better explain that. I'll put it in here for you to see straightaway. The all-important spot up here. You got the bottom list out here. And this is your liquid you're steaming in this instance, milk, you're still coming in. Here, could come closer for you. Drawn the liquid level with the wand, just put other surface and you can see the holes here with the steam comes out. The idea is we want the steam to bounce off the wall of the jog and then in to the milk. Those creating a whirlpool effect which heats the whole chunk up. The one important thing which I've drawn an extra diagram down here every now and then. Specifically at the beginning you're going to want to raise the steam, want out of the liquid every society. So the holes are just on the surface. We've got the steam that comes out here. And the idea being you then to inject some of this air into liquid. Now if you do it just on the surface in every society and with great practice, you'll be able to create what's called microphone. Now it's his microphone with the whirlpool effect or mixing into the milk. The wall increase as the temperature rises, the quantity of milk in your drug will end up with somewhere about here depending on how much you've expanded it. At the same time, we will create a microphone which is mixed in. Curtis have a whirlpool effect. And therefore microphone allow you to do your latte out. Now, in real life, you got two options. You can have the steam wand at an angle. It didn't have your stimulus straight jog at an angle. It doesn't matter which provided that you have the steam bouncing off the wall of your jack into your milk. This is very important. If you do it in the middle, you will heat the milk obviously, but you won't get you a lovely whirlpool effect. And thus you won't mix in your hardened microphone into your milk canal separate. And you'll and you'll have to spin a jog like to mix it to him, which makes your job in the end much harder. We're going to start off with full-fat milk. You'll see it's going to react in a very similar way. The ferry liquid water. And I'll forget. Show you push the right buttons sticking. Even when we know what we're doing, we get it wrong. Focus its normal tiny bit of air injecting into their spin. When it's too hot. Let me go. Remembering distinct before and after the king off your machine, it will look off to you. We've got a pop that down, stop burning, right? And there's one jug of steamed milk full-stack. So it looks exactly the same as the free liquid water, nice and thick, looks like paint that we'll be able to work with. Semi-skilled looks exactly the same way. So we're going to try one of these other milks in here now. How do you do to stop this? So you can see what I'm doing. Okay? Soy milk. Let's see how this mix is showy. Giving a nice mix, mix, all that lovely milk foam into their turnarounds. If you can see this, hopefully you can give it a pause and see how it blends with the coffee. Let's say to the beginning of the video, soy milk doesn't mix with coffee. Very well. Impossible to the last yet, let me go. Soy milk with a short-term espresso, cappuccino. But as you can see, no naughty arts, it doesn't mix. It separates the milk because of the foam at least anyways, sitting on top, but it's not mixed in. So there are people who've been able to do soy milk out there with Lottie out. And that's tough to them. I have to say, Let me go. Let's have a go with the almond milk. Let's see how this force, that's very bubbly. Can you pretty hard to do something but we might be able to get it to work. I don't know. Yes. Betty. Best as most soy milk. There we go. So let's get this right. Almond milk and soy milk. So for me, the soy milk is a much nicer texture, the almond milk because it's bubbly. So maybe with a bit of practice, we won't be able to get those bubbles smaller. Ultimately, visually anyway, it's not much better than the soy milk. So let's put the tastes like It's nice actually. It's very creamy. Amazing that it's not dairy based actually it says crashy, quite pleasant. I'm a big fan of milk, so I don't think I would choose a soya based drink over a dairy base drink. But if somebody offered me that, I certainly wouldn't say no, it's very nice. Texture is lovely and creamy and thick. Almond milk. Let's see what this is like. Okay? If you milk intolerant. So great alternative for me is a very, very strong tetra. It grabs your tongue around a bit. This is a very strong texture, very straight, very strong flavor. That's not for me, but as a brief story, it's our job to try these things so we know what we're offering people. Think now, we'll give it a go with the oat milk. Before we do so, I'd like to talk quickly about coffee recipes all over the world. They vary. A cappuccino, e.g. from one country and one cafe or coffee shop can vary greatly to one that's 10 m down the road. You know, it really depends what by-and-large a cappuccino is a shot of milk. If you come by standards anyway, this size won't be more than 6 oz with a nice thick one to one to two centimeter bed of moose on top, which is what these are like. So a lot is anything bigger. So it can be enormous, it can just be 8 oz. This is 10 oz by comparison. And otherwise the recipes are same. So it's always one shot of espresso with milk and the milk foss on top. The difference being of course it's going to take more milk to fill the cup, whether it's an eight ounce or ten or so on. So you'll taste the coffee far less. You can obviously as though he's talking, you're doing a double shot latte. Actually have some new family who loves a double shot latte. That's the definition. The other end of the scale is you have one shot of espresso. So this is a three ounce cup which should bring it in halfway. So fillets the top with milk. And that is actually called a macchiato. So essentially macchiato, cappuccino. And then you have eruptions, other options. So you have a flat white, which is steamed milk. Traditionally when it's creating new Zealand is just in milk. So once we've finished having a go with these other two milks, we can garnish. I have to do that. Just heats up. And this is the fourth attempt at trying to get it to go. And it just doesn't. I'm tapping it, try and break some of the bubbles that are in there. Show you that in a moment. Let's see what it was like with the latte. Cappuccino. Yeah. So as expected, It's just making a flat white and milky coffee. Milk itself is a little bit of an odd color. It's slightly creamy and color. By-and-large item that you face, but I don't find that coffee particularly visually appealing. However, once again, it's useful if you're on a special diet or if you're dairy or even Sawyer and tolerant, that would be, let's try be brave and try this out based. Cappuccino may not look much where it's actually really quite nice. I fall prefer that to the soil or the almond run. So even visually is no good. And it hasn't got a moose on tops of technique. It's more of a flat wave. That's actually quite nice. However, my favorite, clearly, there we go. Nice. Semi skimmed, UHT, milk, cappuccino. 4. Milk steaming outro: So quick recap. We've tested five milks. We've tried almond milk, which we found to be possible, but still little hard work that out. Um, oat milk, which tastes fine. It's very impossible. I find typically impossible to expand and make any moves to work with your latte. Soy milk, which we know makes it beautiful. Sit, carry me miss. But it doesn't look mixed with a coffee. So latae arts, unless you practice, practice, practice, practice. I have seen it done, but for my part, that's beyond my skills, I have to say and then you've got your dairy milk, we've got full fat and we have our Semi skimmed, which we know as we've just seen, but work absolutely fine. An important tip to know, when you're steaming or milk don't go above 70 degrees centigrade. Or when you can actually buy some moment it goes on the inside of your drug. That clips on the edge. When you say it hits 65, stops steaming because the temperature will continue to rise slightly once you stopped steaming, if you go by 70 years grew, burning, Look apologies. You're responding and milk and changing flavor. And essentially if you don't, if you have a smoke birth milk, but it's very sour, very unpleasant. It starts to change color. And it will definitely change the coffee flavor of your coffee or making. One last thing I'd like to go over with you is different milks. For your three essentially three different size coffees. We talked about macchiato espresso with just a tiny bit of milk and foam on top. We talked about cappuccino and the latte. Same recipe but more milk and the latte default because we touch very briefly on flat whites. And we said that flat white essentially is just invoke with no moose. There. Obviously coffee shops out there that selects change the recipe. Have a little bit of moose on top to be able to just not up to make it look visually appealing. But essentially most places, particularly Zener, do you go to or find a flat white is simply that it's flat. It's a flat white coffee with no missile on top. So to show you how to steam these three different types of milk, flat white southerners had a cappuccino and then your loyalty, which should have slightly less foam. Give it a go. However, we're going to cheat and we're going to use little fairy liquid water. It's got my jug of water in Shopify liquid that we're going to start off by doing your flat white. The technique for steaming is vastly different. The cappuccino, which you've already seen me do it again for you. Here we go. So steaming flat white. You're just hitting them OK. No more technical than that. So it's going to hold it in there. It's going to be noisy. So here we go. Leisurely jog, leaving your steam would happen. The Boston. We're going to keep checking your temperature. As you can see, the technique is vastly different from cappuccino. Most teens steam in there. It's just hot water. You see there's no lovely thick moose that we had on before. It's nice thick, lovely myths that we had them before. It's just hot water. Now it makes that noise simply because we're not injecting air into the milk or in this case into the water. Therefore, when the steam under sitting at the bottom is just spinning around and heating it up. No moose. And so it's not screaming at you. Doesn't mean to say we don't check it the same way. Low temperature where the fingers at the bottom. By all means while you're learning, have a thermometer on the side clipped on, stop at 65 and you'll see it all still climbed two or three degrees. So that's how you do your flat white milk. Cappuccino. You see me do, we'll do it again as the other extreme, struggle for phone screens that steam clean, that steam on again, shall we? So this time cappuccino. Again to inject lots and lots of air to make a lovely thick microphone in there. And we go with that. And away we go. That's your air going in there. When it starts expanding, we're going to level a dog and just keep it mixing, taking it on, taking the temperature, keeping on it. When it gets hot enough to stop. Like that. Membrane to clean your steam on before and after catching it. Now is a vast difference in that milk. And you think like thick paint them, that is a cappuccino milk. Hope you found this lesson of use. I invite you to. If you are just starting out to as much steam easy life with your watch or repairing it quit. You're washing up liquid. Double advantage. You clean and jerk in your opinion machine at same time or when you're ready, start off with a variety of milks for intolerant others, you'll be instantly leaning towards the vegetable that's already the non dairy dairy products, range of milks, plant-based milks. Otherwise, see what you've gotten fresh and give it a go and have a play. And I would love for your project in this, in this class to upload a photo of your chosen milk and y with a lovely photo of you drinking your coffee. Thank you for watching and see you saying goodbye.
