Latte art is a way to make a pattern with milk froth on a cappuccino or latte, which can make your coffee drinks look more creative and unique. Come and learn how to give latte art.

How to make milk froth.

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

2. Heat the milk to about 60 degrees, but not more than 70 degrees, otherwise the protein structure of the milk will be destroyed. Attention! The lid and strainer should not be heated directly.

3. Cover the lid with the strainer and quickly pump the strainer to press the air into the milk, not to the bottom and not too many times, just gently pump about thirty times.

4. Remove the lid and filter, and use a spoon to scrape off the coarse milk froth on the surface, leaving a dense milk froth.

Latte art method

1. Brew Espresso, it is recommended to directly connect the Espresso in the desired cup.

Then froth the milk, if there is coarse milk froth on the surface, please remove them.

2. Slowly pour the froth into the finished Espresso.

When the froth is fully mixed with the Espresso, the surface will be thick, this is the time to start pulling, usually, the glass is already half full.

3. The beginning of the pulling motion is to shake your wrist from side to side holding the pulling glass, focusing on a steady horizontal shaking of the wrist back and forth.

Please note that this movement requires purely wrist strength, not the whole arm moving together. When the shaking is correct, a white "zigzag" trail of milk bubbles will begin to appear in the cup.

4. Gradually move the cup backwards and reduce the shaking range, and finally close the cup by pulling a thin straight line in front of the cup to draw the stems of the leaves in the cup.

If you pour the milk froth steadily from the center of the glass, you will get a pattern that spreads outward from the center.

But if it's off-center, the momentum of the froth being poured into the coffee will create an awkward, snake-like, long line.

Of course, pulling coffee requires experience, but practice makes perfect, and you can make a great-looking cup of coffee after a lot of practice.
