Yes, you can froth cold milk with a hand-held milk frother or an electric milk frother. Milk frothed in a milk frother should be either cold and fresh milk from the fridge or warm milk. Do not use milk at room temperature. View our How To Froth Milk guide for full instructions on frothing cold milk.

The kind of milk you use in a milk frother can be whole milk, skimmed milk or low-fat milk. Other options that can be frothed in a milk frother are almond and soy milk. Low-fat and skimmed milk is easier to foam as it creates the largest foam bubbles. The result is light and frothy but whole milk will give you the creamiest flavour.
