I don't need to flirt. I will seduce you with my grossness.

GROSSNESS (noun) - the condition of having an excess of body fat.  i.e. That level of grossness is more than simply unsightly - it's seriously unhealthy.

- Merriam-Webster

On the topic of being gross, mon petit fleur (flower variety is Iris) dropped off a couple of tubs of ice cream for me on Sunday night.  I spooned the entire tub of Häagen-Daz's Green Tea & Honey Vanilla....  It was so gross and yet so good and so fulfilling and so delicious and SO GUUD!  ZOMGWTFBBQ!!!

Anyway, going on a tangent, I purchased a milk frother on sale at Chapters last week before I flew home.  And this was no ordinary frother my friends, this was a BODIUM frother!  I love Bodium products, they're so innovative and colourful!  STORY OF MY LIFE, thank you very much.

I have always wanted a milk frother.  For those of you who are not familiar with this enchanting mechanism, shame on you!  I kid, I kid.  KISSES!!!  A milk frother froths milk.  Yup.  It aerates it.  How it aerates it, I have no idea.  By definition, it adds air so it's all airy and aerated.  Ok, what do you want from me?!?!  I'm a business major, not a doctor!  All I know is when the barista at Starbucks turns on the frother and sticks it into my milk, it turns my milk foamy, fluffy & heavenly!   ... I love fluffy things!  Like fluffy pillows, fluffy cotton candy, fluffy puppies, fluffy boyfriends ... so it only makes sense that I like my milk fluffy too.  And indeed I do!

There are different types of frothers, prices ranging from $10 to $100.  My Bodium is a simple propeller frother that's operated by AA batteries, it was on sale for $10.  *teeth sparkles*

And here it is in action assisting in the making of my daily Awake Tea Latte!

You will need the following: 

hot water, milk (I drink 2%), vanilla syrup & Tazo's Awake tea

Starbucks syrups cost $10/litre jug.  Make sure you ask for your free pump, some places don't offer it even thought it's your prerogative!

Add 2 pumps vanilla syrup to 1/2 a cup of hot water and let the teabag steep while you prepare your milk

Nuke 1/2 a cup of milk in the microwave for 1.5-2 minutes OR until hot OR until the desired temperature.  Do whatever pleases you, this is your drink.

And not your bestfriend's girlfriend or boyfriend where you CAN'T do whatever you want. 

Froth until foam forms.

I stop when it starts to look like this.

If you don't have a frother, here's how I've been doing it for the last 10 months without a frother.  

Simply pour your cold milk into a seal-able container.  And SHAKE THE CRAZY OUT OF IT.   Seriously.

Uncap and it should look like this. 

It should also spoon like this.  

Pour into a cup and nuke in the microwave until hot.

Pour the frothy milk into the steeped tea.

Look at those sexy stiff peaks!  LIKE A MERINGUE PIEEEE ♥

Here's my version of Mount Everest, towering like a BOSS.
