Latte art: how to draw on coffee. Video
Creativity and originality are welcomed in almost any business today. Coffee cuisine was no exception. Exotic flowers bloom in cups with a fragrant drink, cute animals and whole cartoon families settle down. The art of creating designs on coffee crema is called latte art.
Drawings on coffee: ways to create
Drawings in coffee cups are created in two ways. The first is called latte art – “dairy creativity”. The image on the surface of the espresso is created using warmed and frothed milk. The result is not only delicious, but also beautiful coffee.
The second way to create original drawings on coffee is stencil. The drink is poured almost to the edges of the mug, and a foam should form on the surface. A stencil is placed on top of the container, the intervals of which are covered with grated chocolate, cocoa, cinnamon through a strainer.
Latte art in a homemade cup of coffee
Mostly professional baristas create drawings on coffee by pouring milk. To draw an original image and please your family, prepare: – an espresso; – highly chilled milk; – steam beater / press; – a wooden barbecue stick; – a napkin.
Wait until the machine is half full of aromatic espresso. Please note: there must be foam on its surface, which will form the basis of the future original image. Steam / press the cooled milk.
Original drawings with milk are created from two basic images: a heart and a rosette. To obtain them, pour in the milk from above, gradually going down to the coffee. Form a heart outline or a wavy flower
Few can resist a cup of coffee with a pictured kitten or puppy. To create beauty, start pouring in milk slowly at a distance of 20-25 cm from the surface of the drink. Go down gradually. This will create a neat circle of milk in the middle of the froth.
Take a wooden skewer. Pull out the ears with the sharp end: immerse the stick in the circle and draw two triangles outward. Wipe off the stick. Now pick up some coffee dark crema and create the eyes. Just below it, draw a nose, mouth and mustache with it. You will have a cute cat.
If you want to add color to your latte art, use colored milk. You can create it yourself using food coloring, or whip it up in a store. For example, combine strawberry and chocolate to create elegant cherries.
Quick drawings with a stencil
The stencil allows you to create unusual original patterns on milk or coffee foam. You simply attach a picture cut out on film / plastic / cardboard and fill in coffee with possible additions: – cinnamon, – cocoa, – colored powdered sugar, – grated chocolate.
Stencils are very popular for home “coffee drawing”. You can create your drawing by properly cutting it out of a regular cellophane file. The stencil should be slightly larger than the mug
