The History of Coffee making skills from scratch

Leaves of plants. Because it's attractive, someone has developed other patterns based on this, so you'll also see hearts or tulips and so on.

Preparation

Espresso Coffee: Since the Latte coffee we use to make flowers is made from Espresso, a cup of extracted Espresso is also essential. After all, this is a drink to be eaten rather than a purely ornamental art. We still have to ensure the quality of its entrance. In this way, in the process of doing practice pull flowers, the failure of 10 cups will not be wasted, after all, the quality of pull flowers will not affect the taste of coffee, if you want to make pure Espresso, be sure to use pump coffee machine.

use of raw materials

Don't use skim milk, because skim milk has too little fat, so the foam will taste much worse than the whole milk. Steam foam machine or manual foam pot: what is foam? Foaming is the product of a fine mixture of milk and air. Foaming is made by pumping air into milk. The principle is simple, but it is not a simple matter to really make a cup of dense and detailed milk foam. The most common problem is that too much air enters the milk, creating too thick hard milk foam, which floats on the surface and cannot be fully mixed with coffee, so you don't enjoy the fine texture of milk foam and coffee when drinking. It is recommended that you use a steam milk frother to make milk foam, which will make the process easier. Fortunately, many pump coffee machines now have this function built in, such as Delong BAR14 (single pump type, need to make coffee first and then milk foam), Delong EAM4000 (double pump type, can make coffee and milk foam at the same time) pointed mouth pull flower cup (milk tank): this thing is the most easily overlooked one, although he is not eye-catching, but the role is not small. First of all, milk foam has high temperature requirements, only when it is 60~80 degrees, it will produce good quality milk foam, so you can feel the temperature of milk through the stainless steel milk tank. Second, in the production of flower pull style, the small sharp mouth is like a painter's brush

manufacturing method

To get started: Add the foam to the Espresso and wait until the foam and coffee have been mixed well enough to thicken the surface. That's where it ends. Due to the large volume of milk foam, you need a relatively large cup, preferably a Cappuccino cup or mug. Now the official flower pulling begins. First, start from the root of the first leaf and shake it from side to side.

Move the wrist holding the pull cup (milk tank), the key is to stabilize the wrist to do horizontal swing back and forth.

Coffee flower is divided into two processes, namely: flower and carved. Flower-pulling involves pouring frothed milk into espresso coffee, mixing the two foams to form a unique pattern. Carving, however, as the name suggests, is to use coffee needles, excess milk bubbles or chocolate sauce to draw more delicate patterns on the coffee surface. Coffee carving art can now draw a more complex character's face or cartoon characters. More prominent is the coffee carving themed by Kiki of Miyazaki Hayao's "Witch's Home Express"
