An art that is called Latte art is actually the designing on coffee cup with cream. Latte art is a method of preparing coffee created by pouring steamed milk into a shot of espresso cone that results a pattern or design on the surface of the resulting latte. It can also be created or embellished by simply “drawing” in the top layer of white creamy foam. Latte art is particularly difficult to create consistently, due to the demanding conditions required of both the espresso shot and milk. This, in turn, is limited by the experience of the latte artist and quality of the espresso machine. The pour itself, then, actually becomes the last challenge for the latte artist.
How to create pattern:
- Pour the milk about an inch away from the bottom of the coffee mug.
- Once the cup is about half filled, gently shake the pitcher back and forth while slowly moving it backwards for some time. The flower design will move forward, filling the cup will show you.
- Do this with a shaking motion at the wrist instead of moving your hand back and forth.
- Starting off with the milk pitcher close to the top of the mug, then give a little bit of milk in the same place.
- While this make sure to move the milk pitcher, not the mug.
- Hold the stream of milk in the same place, but wiggle the milk pitcher back and forth as you make a ringed circle.
- When your milk is almost completely poured, swing the milk up to create the bottom tip of your heart.
- Embellish the cream foam with chocolate in other ways too as like you want. Pour chocolate syrup on top of foam and then start decorating with a pin. Make an outline the edges of your foam pattern with chocolate.
