Method for automatically producing milk froth

A method for automatically producing milk froth in a milk-frothing apparatus, wherein the milk-frothing apparatus encompasses at least one hollow space, a steam-inlet channel for introducing steam into the hollow space, a milk-inlet channel for introducing milk into the hollow space, an air-inlet channel for introducing air into the hollow space, outlet channel for discharging milk froth from the milk-frothing apparatus and an emulsion chamber, which is arranged between the hollow space and the outlet channel, and wherein the steam-inlet channel, the milk-inlet channel, air-inlet channel, the emulsion chamber and the outlet channel are in each case directly or indirectly connected to the hollow space and a milk-air-steam mixture can be produced in the hollow space by introducing steam into the hollow space and can be introduced into the emulsion chamber,

• wherein the method encompasses the following method steps:
• introducing steam into the steam-inlet channel, so as to let milk and air flow into the hollow space and to mix it to form a milk-air-steam mixture;
• outputting the milk-air-steam mixture from the emulsion chamber into the outlet channel;
• wherein
• the method furthermore encompasses the following method step:
• introducing a sweetening means, which is present in solid form, into emulsion chamber,
• wherein the sweetening means is embodied as a body, which is shaped to form a block, and this body is arranged in the emulsion chamber before the introduction of steam into the steam-inlet channel takes place, so that the milk-air-steam mixture flows around the sweetening means and the sweetening means is dissolved in the milk-air-steam mixture.
