How do we control the temperature of milking?

Now that we know that the most suitable temperature for milk is between 60 and 70 degrees, how can we handle this temperature? Chen Lei's personal suggestion is that you need to be equipped with a thermometer, you can directly insert the thermometer into the foamed milk, so that the temperature of the milk will be clear at a glance. Of course, due to the accumulation of experience, you can finally get rid of the thermometer and measure the temperature of the milk foam directly by hand. The techniques are as follows:

1. Hold the milk jar in the left hand, turn on the steam in the right hand, and start foaming.

2. After turning on the steam, stick your right hand back to the wall of the milk tank and feel the temperature of the foam.

3. When your hands feel so hot that you can no longer stick to them, you can stop foaming milk, then insert the thermometer into the foam and measure the temperature.

4. If the temperature does not reach the range of 60 ~ 70 degrees, Chen Lei suggests that you can remove the palm of your hand the next time you foam until you are hot, and start to count 1, 2, 3, 4 in your mind. This is usually done in seconds, for example, if you move your hand away from the bottle, and after four seconds, the temperature has reached 65 degrees. Congratulations, you have found the rule. In the future, you can add about four seconds when you are hot.

According to the method of adding and subtracting time at point 4 above, it is easy to measure the bubble temperature by hand. The above techniques are somewhat tricky. In fact, as long as you hit the foam for a period of time, you can find the rules and feel more or less, and the temperature of the foam will be easier to control.
