1

Prep your canvas

Start by brewing a fresh cup of coffee. Make sure it's hot and ready for your creative touch. Ideally, use a white cup to make the design stand out.

2

Create the swan's body

Pour a small amount of milk into a metal pitcher. Hold the pitcher high above the cup and gradually pour the milk into the center, forming a circle. Lower the pitcher as you pour to create a tall mound of milk in the middle, resembling the body of a swan.

3

Shape the swan's neck

Once the body is formed, slowly tilt the pitcher and pour a thin stream of milk into the center of the body, curving it backward to create the elegant neck of the swan. Be gentle and precise with your movements to achieve the desired shape.

Craft the swan's head

Using a toothpick or a latte art pen, carefully draw a small dot for the swan's eye on the front of the neck. Then, create a curved line below the eye to define the beak. Take your time and let your artistic skills shine!

5

Add the finishing touch

Grab a cocoa powder shaker or a small sieve and dust a touch of cocoa powder over the swan to give it a more realistic feathered appearance. Make sure not to overdo it, as a little goes a long way!
