You can practice with a drop of washing up liquid in water, steams the same as milk, but then you waste shots of coffee doing the pours. But I imagine you waste off some shots every day dialling in anyway?
Better than wasting all the milk, especially during a pandemic lockdown.
You do need a good steam wand, with lots of pressure, and a proper pitcher to produce milk good enough to pour. Then just watch some videos on how to do really good hearts, then try tulips. I would leave rosettas until you get bored of doing tulips.
