Enjoy the Coffee!!!

"Latte art "
refers to designs created on the tops of espresso based drinks by a barista.
"barista" refers to one who has acquired some level of professional skills in the preparation of espresso-based coffee drinks. Within certain circles, its meaning is expanding to include what might be called a "coffee sommelier"; a professional who is highly skilled in coffee preparation, with a comprehensive understanding of coffee, coffee blends, espresso, quality, coffee varieties, roast degree, espresso equipment, maintenance, latte art, etc.

Procedure:
1.Pour enough milk(70℃) for one cup into the pitcher. Whip the hot milk to create milk foam. The milk foam should not have too much big bubbles so remove a little top of it.


2.Start pouring the milk into the espresso. To create a flower pattern, pour the milk from center of the expresso into the bottom part of the cup. Once the cup is about half filled, shake the pitcher back and forth and then slowly create the flower design by your hand.



3.Decorate other special designs can also use stencils, powder, chocolate and sticks.
