Latte art is the practice of creating visually appealing designs or patterns on the surface of espresso-based beverages, particularly lattes. It involves pouring steamed milk into espresso in a way that allows the milk to mix with the coffee and create contrast, resulting in various artistic designs.
Creating latte art requires practice, patience, and a steady hand. It's important to have the right consistency of steamed milk, control the speed and angle of pouring, and maintain a consistent flow. With time and experience, baristas can master latte art and create intricate designs that add visual appeal to the coffee drinking experience.
