HOW TO TEXTURE MILK

TAKE YOUR ESPRESSO TO THE NEXT LEVEL WITH PERFECTLY TEXTURED MILK


  1. Start with fresh, cold milk that has a high fat content. Whole milk or 2% milk works best for latte art.

  2. Pour the milk into a stainless steel pitcher. The pitcher should be clean and free of any residue.

  3. Place the pitcher of milk under the steam wand of the espresso machine.

  4. Turn on the steam wand and bring it close to the surface of the milk, but not touching it.

  5. Position the steam wand at an angle so that it creates a whirlpool effect in the milk. This will help to evenly distribute the heat and create a smooth, velvety texture.

  6. As the milk begins to heat up, lower the pitcher so that the steam wand is just below the surface of the milk.

  7. Continue steaming the milk until it reaches a temperature of around 140°F to 150°F. Use a thermometer to check the temperature.

  8. Once the milk reaches the desired temperature, turn off the steam wand and tap the bottom of the pitcher on a hard surface to remove any large bubbles.

  9. Swirl the milk in the pitcher to create a smooth and glossy texture.

  10. Pour the textured milk into your espresso shot to create latte art.
