Notes
For half-and-half to foam correctly ensure that that milk is cold. Steam and froth the half-and-half just as you would for a Cappuccino or Latte; however, the perfect foam for a Breve is temperature sensitive. Keep the temperature between 145-160 degrees Fahrenheit by using a Milk Thermometer, any higher than 160 while using half-and-half and you risk burning the milk.
After you have foamed your milk, allow it to set and tighten up the foam. Setting the foam will give your Breve it’s self-indulgent dessert quality.
