A Rosetta Forming

Recently I’ve been trailing a new technique for getting your latte art spot on. I call it cutting the crema. To cut the crema you pour a small amount of milk into your espresso shot just after it has finished pouring and as you pour you move your jug around the cup so to create a layer of silky milk below the crema so that it rises up and settles just under the crema. This gives you a nice canvas to work with as you free pour your Rosettas, leaves and hearts.
