1

Prepare your canvas

Brew a fresh cup of your favorite aromatic coffee and fill it up to about 3/4 of the mug. You don't want it overflowing like a faulty fountain, after all!

2

Create the butterfly body

Using chocolate syrup or melted chocolate, draw a vertical line in the center of your coffee. Get creative with your strokes, and remember: butterflies come in all shapes and sizes!

3

Add colorful wings

Pick two vibrant food coloring colors of your choice. Pour a few drops of each color, alternating them on either side of the chocolate line. Let the colors blend and dance like butterflies in a field of flowers.

4

Time to spread those wings

Using a toothpick or a latte art tool, gently drag the colors away from the chocolate line towards the edges of the mug. This will give your butterfly wings a lovely gradient effect. Be patient and let your art unfold naturally!

Finishing touches

If desired, you can add a sprinkle of edible glitter or a dusting of cocoa powder to make your butterfly latte art truly mesmerizing. Remember, coffee art is all about personal expression!
