Milk 1 cup
Espresso 1 shot

Be careful when working with hot liquids and steam. Always ensure your workspace is clean and tidy to prevent any accidents. And remember, as with any art, practice makes perfect!

1

Heat and froth the milk

Pour the desired amount of milk into a small saucepan and gently heat it over medium-low heat. Keep an eye on it and stir occasionally to avoid scorching. Once the milk is warm but not boiling, remove it from the heat and froth it using a milk frother or a handheld whisk until it becomes creamy and foamy.

2

Pour the espresso

Brew a strong shot of espresso using your preferred method. Make sure it's hot and ready to go!

3

Prepare your canvas

Find a wide, shallow coffee cup or latte art mug for your canvas. This will give you more surface area to work with when creating your blooming flower design.

4

Create the flower base

Pour the frothed milk into your canvas cup, gently swirling it in a circular motion to create a smooth base for your blooming flower. Be careful not to disturb the foam too much.

5

Make the first petal

Hold a small spoon or a toothpick at a slight angle over the center of the milk. Slowly pour a thin stream of the espresso in a circular motion around the spoon or toothpick, creating the first petal of your blooming flower. Aim for a spiraling effect as you pour.

6

Continue with the petals

Repeat the process of pouring thin streams of espresso in a circular motion around the spoon or toothpick, creating additional petals around the center. Vary the size and shape of the petals to give your flower a natural and dynamic look.

7

Add the finishing touches

Using a toothpick or a fine-tipped utensil, gently drag the tip through the petals from the center outward. This will create intricate details and add a delicate touch to your blooming flower design.
