Can 2.7% fat milk be used to froth coffee?

What is Milk (2.7% fat)?
Milk is a familiar dairy drink, usually taken from cows, and also a versatile ingredient in everyday cooking. At 2.7% fat, it has a rounded, gently creamy taste without being as rich as whole milk. It is commonly poured over cereal or oats, added to tea and coffee, or used in sauces, soups and baking. Chilled, it is mild and refreshing; warmed, it feels fuller and creamier.
Milk provides protein and calcium, with 3.3 g of protein per 100 g. It can make a simple breakfast more satisfying, or be paired with fruit or oats for a quick snack. If you prefer a lighter drink, keep the serving modest or use it in coffee rather than pouring a large glass.
