My GF loves lattes, but she’s lactose intolerant. She refuses to take lactose pills, for some unknown reason.
I’ve tried making lattes with skin milk and almond milk, but they don’t foam quite the same way whole milk does. Any suggestions?
Latte means milk
Hows this gonna work?
Anyways
Get regular milk… but in a lactose free variant. This exists. At least where i live.
How about lactose-free milk, i.e. where they have added lactase to neutralize the lactose? I never drink milk myself, but if I ever need milk for a recipe, I buy the lactose-free one.
Lactose free milk foams up fine in my experience. You can also get ‘barrista’ style alternative milks that are made to be able to foam up like cows milk. Usually these are in baking or health food isles.
I’m pretty sure lactose free milks are just milk with the lactase enzyme added… exactly same as the supplements she doesn’t want to take. Could be be a good way to trick her to going that route I guess
As others have said, lactose free milk! As another option, my local vegan cafe also offers things like oat milk and coconut milk - and while they don’t quite give the same foam as regular milk, I reckon they make a much better tasting latte.
lol…skin milk
Try oat milk… it foams much better that the other alternative milks. There are some brands of oat milk that have a thicker option that I enjoy.
What about lactaid milk? I think if you use a whole milk version of lactaid it should foam like regular whole milk.
