Latte Art, a beginners guide
The Leaf/Rosetta –Impress your guests
1.
In a steady stream pour the milk along the side of the
cup, away from yourself
2.
Once you have poured in half the milk, start pulling the
jug back towards yourself, drizzling from right to left
with even movements
3.
When you reach the edge of the cup “cut” through the
design to create the leaf rib
Position the steam spout under the surface of the milk, the correct
position should make a hissing sound,
'hiss-hiss-hiss
’ as tiny bubbles
of air are being encapsulated in the milk.
Continue heating until the jug is too hot to
hold
your finger tip on
(approximately 60°C), then turn off the steam dial and remove your
jug.
For the final perfect finish, tap your jug on the counter top to burst
any large bubbles, and swirl the milk around in the jug to blend the
foamed and steamed milk together to create an even texture. Pour
over your espresso immediately and enjoy.........
Tips
•
Be slow and controlled with your pour, don’t feel you have to rush
•
The movements are small and subtle, no need to shake your milk around
•
Practice makes perfect......
