Front Street Coffee's latte art class continues, and this session focuses on creating the leaf pattern. Although the leaf may seem quite difficult, its core technique is largely similar to the multi-layered heart—both rely on evenly swaying the milk foam to form fine stripes, with the only difference being that the leaf has an extra step of dragging backward. As long as you master the swaying rhythm of the multi-layered heart, the leaf can also be picked up easily. Next, we will move into the hands-on sharing, starting from integrating to the six-tenths full point and pouring milk foam at the center point, emphasizing that you should pause first to make the two leaf lobes and then sway evenly backward; when pulling back and swaying, the pitcher spout needs to be raised appropriately by 0.5~1 cm to make the stripes clearer, and near the cup edge, first lower the pitcher spout to pour out more milk foam to form a heart, then raise the pitcher spout to finish, so the final result will be more beautiful.

Front Street's little latte art class is starting again! Today, the latte art pattern Front Street brings is: "Leaf." Although it looks quite difficult on the surface, in fact, it is broadly similar to making a multi-layered heart. Both require even swaying to present fine stripes, and the difference is that the leaf adds an extra dragging step~ In other words, as long as you understand the swaying rhythm of the multi-layered heart, mastering the leaf pattern will follow naturally!
Alright, let's begin today's sharing!



Now let's move into the hands-on part. First, we integrate the milk to six-tenths full of the cup, then pour milk foam at the center point to begin the latte art. But be sure to remember, at the beginning do not rush to pull backward; first pause for a moment to make the two leaf lobes, and only then sway evenly backward!

Then, during the process of pulling backward and swaying, the pitcher spout should be raised appropriately, which can make the stripes clearer and maintain a certain spacing! But remember not to raise it too high; keeping it within 0.5~1 cm is enough! When you are about to retreat to the cup edge, do not rush to finish; first lower the pitcher spout and pour out more milk foam to form a heart, then raise the pitcher spout to complete the finish. The leaf made this way will look even better~~
