Tips on Creating Latte Art

If you have become a pro at brewing your own espresso drinks, then your next step is making the finest latte art around. The best tip that I can offer you is to steam the milk in a smooth way so there are no bubbles or foam peaks. You will then want your milk to reach about 160 degrees, at which point you can pour the milk straight into your espresso shot so that it fills the cup. When the milk begins to reach the top of the latte, you will want to move your wrist from side to side so that a leaf design is created. You can finish by pouring a small stream of milk right into the middle of the leaf, but delicately so your art is still intact. And there you have it- watch out, Picasso!
