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?

    If you’re looking to get a similar texture to whole milk, your best bet is probably an alternative milk with a similar fat profile to whole milk. That’s what makes whole milk the ideal milk steam so nicely. Many alternative milk brands will have a “barista” version of their milk that is intended to steam as nicely as whole milk. In my own experience, these have had much better texture than lactose-free whole milks, but you might have to hunt for a brand with a flavor that your gf likes.
