What does "mouse" refer to in the context of milk frothing?

• A. The bubbles created in milk
• B. The microfoam that adds creaminess
• C. The temperature of the milk
• D. The type of milk used for frothing

Answer: (B)

Mouse refers to the smooth, velvety texture of milk known as microfoam. This microfoam comes from aerating the milk just enough so the tiny bubbles are evenly distributed and integrated into the liquid, giving a creamy, satin-like mouthfeel that’s ideal for latte art. It’s not about the larger bubbles you see on top, nor about the milk’s temperature or the type of milk. The creaminess and stability you experience in a well-textured drink come from that microfoam.
