How to control the foam production of coffee flower?

1 Pour enough cold milk (about 10 degrees Celsius) into a pull cup. If you have plenty of time, put the cup in the refrigerator to cool down before use. A cold cup can give you more time to prepare milk and reduce the chance that milk will boil. To make the best foam, keep a portable liquid thermometer handy, which will help you remove milk from the steamer at the right time.

2 Insert the stick into the bottom of the cup. Turn on the steamer and slowly lift the stick close to the top of the milk. When frothing milk rises, press down on the stick and keep it 1 cm below the surface. Avoid over stirring milk to prevent excessive foaming. This will create a smooth foam.

3 Raise the milk temperature to 37 degrees Celsius. Place the stick against the side of the glass, insert deeply into the milk, gently stir the milk counterclockwise,

4 Stir the milk until the temperature rises to 65-68 degrees Celsius. Make sure the milk temperature never exceeds 71 degrees Celsius. Some brands of steamers heat up too fast and may need to remove milk from the steamer in advance to avoid boiling milk. This is because the milk temperature continues to rise after it stops heating. Crush the big bubbles, leaving only the tiny ones.

5 Turn off the steamer and remove the stick and thermometer from the milk. Clean the stick with a damp cloth.

6 Let the milk cool for a few seconds, this will make the milk foam texture more dense.

7 Shake the milk vigorously. Shake the cup gently on the table until the bubbles burst, then continue shaking the milk for 20-30 seconds.

Step 3: Pour in milk foam and pull flower art

1. Try making flower patterns. This flower pattern is simple, elegant and relatively easy to make. Of course, all the art of drawing flowers takes time to master.The height of the foam is about 2-3 cm from the bottom. When the cup is about half-full, gently shake the cup back and forth and slowly move it backwards. The flower pattern stretches forward until it fills the cup.When shaking, use your wrist to exert force and shake gently instead of shaking it back and forth with your hands.
