Pour Your Heart Out
– Pour the first 50% of the milk from 3cm above the surface of the coffee – aim for about 1/3 of the way in from the edge of the cup.
– Lower the jug to the surface of the coffee while pouring the rest of milk – don’t jiggle the jug too much, keep a steady flow of milk.
– At this point, you should have created a circle of milk foam on the surface of the coffee
– When the cup is almost full, move the jug over the circle to cut through the circle and create a heart.
