Brew a fresh espresso shot
Steam cold milk until hot and silky
Create fine microfoam with small bubbles
Tap and swirl the milk pitcher to remove large bubbles
Hold the cup at a slight angle
Pour the milk from a height into the center of the espresso
Lower the pitcher close to the surface as the cup fills
Move the pitcher gently to shape the design
Pour faster to create a heart or tulip base
Wiggle the pitcher side to side for a rosetta
Finish by lifting the pitcher and pulling through the design
Practice with consistent milk texture and pouring speed
