How to boil milk

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boiling Milk in the Microwave

• Pour milk into a clean mug
• Place a wooden utensil in the mug.
• Place a wooden spoon or chopstick in the mug.
• Use a utensil long enough that it can't fall under the milk.
• This lets steam escape up the handle instead of causing a foamy explosion.
• Microwave for 20 seconds at a time.
• Between each "zap," take out the milk and stir it for 5–10 seconds.
• This cautious method minimizes the risk of overflow.
• If you want to add spices or sugar, do so after the milk has been boiled and removed from heat.
• Acidic foods can curdle the milk. This includes ginger and some other spices.
• Be sure to watch your milk while you are heating it up. Milk begins to boil a lot earlier than water does.
