Slowly texture your milk.
Raise the jug slightly and feel the temperature.
When the jug is hot to touch, turn off the steam and take the jug away.
Wipe the steam arm clean with a damp cloth.
Purge the steam arm for a few seconds.
Tap your milk jug on a surface to break any large milk bubbles.
Swirl your milk in small circular motions before pouring.
