Milk and espuma

Last night I was at the mall having a cup of coffee while waiting to go to my 7:30 meeting. I took the lid off the cup and saw all the delicious foam in my white mocha! It reminded me of my milk drinking habits when I was a little girl!

I used to think milk was the grossest white drink ever! How come this white liquid was so necessary for our teeth that are already white! It smelled weird and let's face it it's white! The only way my mom could get me to drink it was if it had espuma!! So every morning my mom would heat the milk, and she would have two cups ready for me! I know what you're thinking, no she did not make me drink two cups of milk because I was picky! One cup was full of warm milk and the other was completely. Then the process of getting my milk ready would begin. My mom would pour milk from one cup to the other again and again and again until there was foam or espuma at the top! Once it had a bunch of bubbles at the top, it wouldn't be super hot any more and it was full of bubbles. Then I knew my milk was delicious!

The rule in our house was always that before leaving the house to go anywhere, we had to drink a cup of milk or else you were not going anywhere. I don't remember how this started but I remember when we came to the USA we would still have to drink our daily cup of milk, but I remember we would put a little bit of nescafe and sugar to our milk! It was really good that way too... I can't say it was better than with a lot of foam and bubbles.

Now I love milk in many ways... I even like it cold!!!!
