How to Make
STEP ONE
Make espresso shots.
STEP TWO
Fill pitcher with cold milk to the bottom of pour spout dent.
STEP THREE
Aerate milk for about 3 seconds by keeping the tip of the wand near the surface of the milk. You should hear a paper-tearing sound.
STEP FOUR
Submerge wand toward bottom of pitcher to get milk to spin in a whirlpool motion.
STEP FIVE
Heat milk to 150 degrees. Use a thermometer, or stop when you can’t touch the pitcher for more than an instant.
STEP SIX
"Groom" the milk by tapping pitcher on counter and swirling gently by hand. This will pop any big bubbles and maintain micro-foam.
STEP SEVEN
Pour high to start. Tilt coffee cup as you pour a pencil-thin stream of milk into the center of the espresso.
STEP EIGHT
Pour low when cup is half full. Lower pitcher to just above the surface.
STEP NINE
Lay foam. Fill cup till a circle of white foam begins to form.
STEP TEN
Make your design. Using your wrist move pitcher slightly side to side to "draw."
STEP ELEVEN
Finish. Slowly tilt pitcher back and draw the stream back through center of the design.
