Learn the five steps of milk flower drawing

As a first step, we need to choose a tub with a sharp mouth and a wide-mouthed coffee cup, and make sure that we can extract excellent Espresso (preferably using an Espresso coffee machine, because the richness of coffee oil is closely related to the flower), which can make a thick and thick foam.

We chose [Front Street boutique match], where the 3:7 ratio between Colombia and Brazil gives the concentrated flavor a soft acidity, nutty flavor and caramel taste, and the sweetness increases with the addition of milk. it will feel like some cookies when it's cold.

The second step is to practice how to control the flow and flow of water, first with clean water, then with detergent and soy sauce-of course, making coffee grounds into a paste is more likely to simulate the texture of espresso.

The third step is to practice the presentation process of the basic pattern and try to make perfect with practice. Tulips and leaves are two basic milk patterns.

The fourth step, the use of milk and coffee, the basic pattern of flower drawing practice.

The fifth step, with the basis of the fourth step, has become a qualified milk flower artist, followed by the need to further improve the technology.

Let's extract a cup of Espresso, then hold the coffee cup in one hand, tilt the cup slightly inward, and hold the milk jar in the other hand, which is about 10cm higher than the coffee cup. There is beat foam inside, and the cylinder body is slightly tilted, with the pointed mouth facing the coffee cup forward. Then we began the journey of drawing flowers.

[tulip coffee flower drawing steps]

1. Mix the milk and coffee.

two。 Find the middle point of the cup, get close to the cup and increase the flow to the maximum until a white ball appears on the surface of the coffee.

3. The second injection point should be a little further back, when the injection, large flow injection, the appearance of a white ball can stop the injection

4. Repeat step 3 several times to make tulips.

5. After the last ball appears, it immediately reduces the flow and takes it out in a straight line.

Tulips are not particularly difficult, and they are better suitable for practice. Practice a few more times, understand the formation and change of the pattern, master the tricks, pay attention to the range of swing during practice, do not have to be too fast, do not worry about too little embossing, or push forward only twice. when skilled, you can add some embossing appropriately, push forward a few more times, you can make the pattern more beautiful, and you need to make tulips pull flowers. You need to know when to stop and when to continue to pour foam, the rule of a slight pause.

[basic steps for drawing flowers and leaves]

1. Pour the milk into a cup with Espresso. Be careful not to let the foam float on the surface of the coffee at the beginning. The cup is tilted toward the vat and injected from the back of the central point.

2. When the coffee surface begins to whiten, increase the amount of milk, while gently swinging the vat will appear texture, do not panic at this time, continue to shake and increase the flow, slowly back.

3. When you have drawn the number of leaves you want and decided to enter the final stage, raise your flower jar to about 5 centimeters away from the coffee and push the flow of fine milk forward to draw a leaf stem. And then it's done.
