If you do not have a frother you have several options- heat the milk and you can whisk vigorously, use and immersion blender, use a blender, use an electric mixer, put in a jar with lid and shake (please use oven mitts or pot holders, the milk is hot). Or if you don't really care about froth, just heat the milk and skip frothing
