Surprisingly good hot chocolate

McGee has a general “recipe” for foaming milk with out steam.
I just tried a version of it — 1/2 cup 2% cold milk in a 1 c glass jar, shake hard til volume doubles (30 sec), microwave for 30” et voila! beautiful, foamy steamed milk. Out of curiosity, I tried another 30” of heating and the foam bubbled out and collapsed… so a larger jar is recommended just in case!

To make a flavored drink with this, try: 1 part warm frothy milk and carefuly stir in 1 part hot double concentrated milky beverage (like hot chocolate).
