The editor will take you into the world of caffeine today. Are you ready?

First of all, we need to understand the definition of coffee flower:

Coffee flower drawing is divided into two processes, namely: flower drawing and carving. To pull flowers is to pour milk with milk foam into espresso to mix the two kinds of foam to form a unique pattern. However, carving, as the name implies, is to draw a more delicate figure on the surface of the coffee with a coffee needle, extra milk foam or chocolate sauce. Today we mainly learn to draw flowers.

We need to make milk foam before pulling flowers.

Prepare refrigerated milk (4 ℃), milk tank, coffee maker.

1. Pour the milk into the milk bubble pot, and the amount should not exceed 1 / 2 of the milk bubble pot, otherwise the milk will spill over due to expansion when making the milk bubble.

2. Heat the milk to about 60 degrees, but not more than 70 degrees, otherwise the protein structure in the milk will be destroyed. Be careful! The lid and strainer cannot be heated directly. (for example, make ice foam to cool the milk below 5 degrees Celsius, of course, do not overfreeze and let the milk freeze.)

3, cover the lid and the filter, quickly twitch the filter to press the air into the milk, there is no need to press to the end, because it is to pump the air into the milk, so as to act on the surface of the milk; the number of times is not too much, gently twitch about 30 times.

4. Remove the lid and strainer and scrape off the thick foam with a spoon, leaving dense hot (ice) foam.

Flower drawing mode

Heart shape:

1. The cylinder nozzle is close to the cup wall, aiming at the center point of the liquid level of Espresso, and the small milk flow is injected.

two。 Gradually pull up the milk tank and use the small milk flow to draw circles for fusion.

3. After five minutes full, the milk tank is close to the liquid level (note the position where the milk flow is injected at this time, called the flowering point) to increase the milk flow.

4. Keep the position and shake the spout evenly so that the foam will naturally produce a semicircle.

5. When the eight minutes are full, gradually raise the milk tank, refine the milk flow, and slowly pull forward.

Leaf shape

1. To cook Espresso, it is recommended to put the Espresso directly into the desired cup. Then hit the milk foam, after completion, if there is a thicker milk foam floating on the surface, please remove it.

2. Slowly pour the milk foam into the newly finished Espresso. When the foam is fully mixed with the Espresso, the surface will be thick, and this is the time to start drawing flowers (usually the cup is half full).

3. The beginning of the pull flower is to shake the wrist holding the flower cup from left to right, and the key point is to steadily make the wrist shake horizontally to the left and right. Koko reminded: this action only requires the strength of the wrist, do not follow the whole arm to start. When the shake is correct, the cup will begin to show white "zigzag" foam marks.

4. Gradually move the flower cup back, and reduce the range of the shaking. Finally, when you close the cup, draw a thin straight line forward and draw the stem of the leaves in the cup as the end.

Through the above flower-pulling study, can all the friends master the flower-pulling skills of coffee?
