title_body: How to make lattes with plant milk
upvoted_answer: You need a high-protein plant milk in order to obtain proper froth as the froth is kept in shape by what are essentially entangled protein molecules. According to google, rice milk only has ~10% of cow milk's protein, which explains why it doesn't work well. Soy milk has pretty much the same percentage of protein as cow milk, so that is worth a try. Coconut milk has ~70% of cow Milk's protein.
  
  Regarding the heating: try a different setting of your frother. Heating should work the same no matter what milk you use.
