Yes, this rocks! I actually make tea lattes with nonfat milk and/or nonfat vanilla soy milk and a dash of this or that from the spice rack (cinnamon, or ginger). You can use the hand sprayer on the sink if you have one to froth it up and the microwave to get the steaminess. (Watch it - it will bubble of it's own accord if it gets too hot.)

Lotta Latte!
Buy a battery operated Milk Frother (Ikea has them for about $3) to make your own inexpensive, healthy lattes.
MORE INFORMATION:
Put about 1/4 cup nonfat milk in a pint glass, heat for 30 seconds in the microwave. Add an envelope of Splenda and froth until its fluffy and takes up about 3/4 of the glass. Add coffee and drink. Yummy!
Ever had a chocolate chai latte? Try it! Use about a TBSP of Hershey’s Special Dark Cocoa powder (5 calories) instead of syrup (25 calories for just the lite stuff!). If you use Oregon Chai Sugar Free concentrate the sweetness of the splenda blends nicely with the cocoa powder so the latte doesn’t end up too sweet as with syrup. Mmm, spicy chocolatey warm goodness for only the calories of your choice of milk/soy. Try it in regular chai tea too! 106 + 493 = 26
