Use fresh espresso and cold milk
Fill a milk pitcher with cold milk
Steam the milk to create smooth microfoam
Tap and swirl the pitcher to remove large bubbles
Pour the espresso into a cup
Hold the pitcher close to the surface of the espresso
Start pouring slowly into the center
Lower the pitcher slightly as the cup fills
Increase the pour speed to form the design
Move the pitcher gently to shape the pattern
Finish by lifting the pitcher and cutting through the design
Practice with simple patterns like a heart or rosette
