Latte Love Art

A good cup of coffee can pretty much make our day. And when that morning latte comes with a pretty, little heart in the foam? That’s just an Instagram waiting to happen.

Ingredients:
1 shot espresso
4-5 oz milk (whole works best or almond milk.)

Instructions:
1. Steam the milk until it’s thick and creamy, with not too much foam.
2. Pour espresso into a coffee cup, keeping it slightly to one side.
3. Sword the milk (swirl/spin) in the pitcher until the milk surface shines.
4. Pour the steamed milk in the center of the espresso slowly at first, then increase speed.
6. When the milk is halfway gone, keep pouring, but gently move the pitcher right-left to facilitate the foam-pour.
7. When the milk is almost gone, and the “apple” shape appears, reduce the pouring speed and move the pitcher over and across the surface. The small, remaining trail of foam will pull a line through the center of the apple, creating a heart shape!
