Due to infamous only in NYC kitchen space constraints, most of my appliances and tools are multi-purpose.  I do not have a garlic press, a tomato peeler, or cheese knives.  But tucked between my plates and the corner of the cupboard is a milk frother.  A frother looks like a French press with a more complex mesh/strainer apparatus that magically transforms a generous splash of milk into luscious foam.

That’s it.  Milk to milk with air bubbles.

But even at my most bleary eyed, scraping the last bit of foam from the bottom of my Ikea mug lets me pretend that I am actually sitting in an outdoor café, soaking up the sun and drinking café au lait from a delicate cup.  On especially distressing mornings, I sprinkle maple sugar on top to heighten the effect.

My frother is a the BonJour Caffe Froth , but I’ve also used the Bodum Chambord Milk Frotherwith success.
