Why does oat milk foam better for lattes in colder weather?

Ok, so I’ve been experimenting with different plant-based milks for my lattes, and I swear oat milk froths WAY better when it’s chilly out. Like, in the summer, it’s all hit or miss, but as soon as it gets cold, my froth game is on point! Anyone else noticed this or am I just imagining it? Is it the milk, the weather, or something else entirely? Curious if I’m not the only one geeking out about this.

Hello all! I think it has to do with the temperature of the milk! In colder weather, oat milk can create a denser foam because it’s less likely to separate, though I’m curious about the science behind it!

Omg, I thought I was the only one who noticed this! My oat milk lattes always seem to froth better in colder months, and in the summer, it’s just… meh. Maybe it has something to do with temperature affecting the proteins or fats in the milk? Either way, I’m 100% here for that perfect winter froth—makes the latte feel extra cozy!
