1. Introduction to Latte

Latte, originated from the Italian latte art, is a work of art that perfectly combines espresso and milk. It has a mellow taste and delicate milk foam. Every sip seems to be a perfect combination of nature and man-made. In the busy urban life, a cup of carefully made latte can not only refresh the mind, but also add an artistic atmosphere to life.

2. Materials needed to make latte

1. Espresso: Choosing coffee with a strong taste is the key to making latte.

2. Milk: Choose fresh milk with moderate fat content to ensure the taste and stability of the milk foam.

3. Tools for making latte art: such as manual or automatic steam coffee machines, manual milk frother, measuring cups, etc.

3. Production steps

Step 1: Prepare the espresso

Preheat the coffee machine, then adjust the grind size of the coffee beans to your taste to ensure a strong and balanced espresso. Press the coffee machine switch, wait for the espresso to flow out, and pour it into a preheated cup.

Step 2: Make milk foam

Pour the milk into the milk frother and adjust the steam pressure to heat the milk and produce delicate milk foam. Pay attention to the thickness of the milk foam. If it is too thick, the taste will be rough, and if it is too thin, it will be difficult to form. When the milk foam reaches the best state, pour it into another cup.

Step 3: Latte art

This is the most critical step in making latte. Gently pour the espresso into the cup, then slowly pour the milk in from a high place, and use your fingers to control the flow rate and direction at the mouth of the cup, so that the milk and espresso can blend perfectly in the air, forming delicate layers of milk foam and coffee. Then, use the latte art tools or the clever operation of your fingers to pull the milk foam into various shapes, such as hearts, leaves, etc.

It should be noted that latte art is not just about pursuing beautiful appearance. What is more important is to control the ratio and flow rate of coffee and milk during the latte art process so that every sip can achieve the best taste balance. The following points should be paid attention to when making latte: first, keep the environment clean and avoid pollution; second, control the temperature, which should not be too hot or too cold; third, adjust the concentration and sweetness according to personal taste.
