How to make coffee latte art is easier than you ever thought!

How to make coffee latte art

1. Making milk foam:

1. Pour the milk into the milk frother. The amount should not exceed 1/2 of the milk frother, otherwise the milk will overflow due to expansion when making milk froth.

2. Heat the milk to about 60 degrees, but not more than 70 degrees, otherwise the protein structure in the milk will be destroyed. Note! The lid and filter cannot be heated directly. (If you are making ice milk foam, cool the milk to below 5 degrees. Of course, don't over-freeze the milk.)

3. Put the lid and the filter on, and quickly pull the filter to press the air into the milk. You don't need to press it all the way down when pulling, because you want to pump the air into the milk, so just move on the surface of the milk. You don't need to pull it too many times, just gently pull it about thirty times.

4. Remove the lid and filter, and use a spoon to scrape off the coarse milk foam on the surface, leaving behind the dense hot (ice) milk foam.

2. Latte art method:

1. When brewing espresso, it is recommended to pour the espresso directly into the desired cup. Then make the milk foam. If there is any coarse milk foam on the surface, please remove it.

2. Slowly pour the whipped milk foam into the espresso. When the milk foam and espresso are fully mixed, the surface will become thick, and this is the time to start drawing (usually the cup is half full at this time).

3. The first step to latte art is to shake the wrist holding the latte art cup left and right. The key is to keep the wrist shaking horizontally left and right. Please note that this action only requires the strength of the wrist, and do not move the whole arm. When shaking correctly, white "Z"-shaped milk foam marks will begin to appear in the cup.

4. Gradually move the latte art cup backwards and reduce the amplitude of shaking. Finally, draw a thin straight line forward when closing the cup to draw the stems of the leaves in the cup to end.
