Over the years, we have had the privilege of teaching many people how to make flowers. Pouring milk is one of the most common topics we talk about with family baristas in class, on open days, at trade shows or festivals. We thought it might be helpful to share some of the things we observed-the little things we noticed, the things we repeated, and possible shortcuts.

Below, you will find some useful techniques and techniques that may contribute to your flower-pulling art journey. If you want to review the basics of the art of drawing flowers-take a look at our video "practicing the Art of drawing flowers" and give yourself a good benchmark.

1. Get your milk ready before the injection

Getting everything in order will help you focus on important variables. It is a helpful workflow to prepare cold milk in a large pitcher so that it can be drunk at any time.

two。 Steamed milk looks like wet paint.

This may seem like a matter of course, but focus on the steaming good milk first. Not only are you ready for your own success, but your drink will also taste better.

If you add too much air? In the end, you will get thick foamed milk. Too little air? You will eventually lose your texture. Is it too hot? Less sweet milk. There's a lot to remember, but it's worth finding a balance.

The texture of the milk is the same from top to bottom and looks like wet paint. It has some texture, but it also has movement. Adding too much air or not mixing correctly will form a hard foam on your surface and a thin layer of hot milk at the bottom. This means that when you pour milk, all the dilute milk will come out first, leaving a mass of foam. It's not suitable for making patterns.

Learning to balance these variables when steaming milk is the basis of the art of casting good lattes. Check out some of our videos of steamed milk to practice.

3. Give yourself a blank canvas at every step

Give yourself a clean, uniform surface to make it look better. Before pouring coffee, mix your espresso with cream, spots and bubbles. This will give you a blank espresso "canvas" and allow you to pour coffee with the same color and texture.

Similarly, make sure you mix espresso and milk well before you put down the coffee maker and start pouring out your design.
