Be careful while working with hot liquids and equipment. Take your time and enjoy the process, but keep safety in mind.

1

Prepare your canvas

Start by brewing a fresh cup of espresso or a strong coffee. Allow it to cool slightly before moving on to the next step.

2

Froth up some fun

Using a milk frother or a small whisk, froth a small amount of milk until it reaches a silky texture. Set it aside for now.

3

Pour with precision

Gently pour the frothed milk into your cup of coffee, aiming to create a smooth layer of foam on top of your brew. Don't rush this step; pour slowly and steadily.

4

Shape your turtle

To create the turtle's body, make a small circle with a spoon in the center of the foam. Keep the circle small, as it will serve as the base for the turtle's shell. This is the beginning of your turtle masterpiece!

5

Bring it to life

Using a skewer or a toothpick, gently drag lines outward from the center of the shell. These lines will create the textured appearance of the shell. Be careful not to press too hard and disturb the foam underneath.

6

Add the finishing touches

Create the turtle's head by making a small oval shape right above the shell. Then, use the skewer or toothpick to add eyes, a mouth, and any other details you'd like to give your turtle character. Get creative and have fun with it!
