Tea latte art is a technique of making various patterns on the surface of tea with milk foam or cream, which can add beauty and flavor to the tea, and is also a way to show personal creativity and skill. What is the principle and method of camellia art?This article will introduce you to it.
The principle of latte art mainly makes use of the surface tension and fluidity of milk foam or cream, as well as the density and color of the tea. Surface tension is the mutual attraction between molecules on the surface of a liquid, which causes the surface of the liquid to form a thin film that can withstand a certain amount of pressure. Fluidity is the ability of a liquid to deform under the action of an external force, which determines the speed and direction of the flow of the liquid. Density is the ratio of mass and volume of a substance, which affects the floating, sinking and mixing of liquids. Color is the property of a substance that reflects or absorbs light, and it determines the visual effect of a liquid.
There are two main methods of tea latte art, one is the pouring method, and the other is the painting method. The pouring method refers to pouring milk foam or cream into the tea, using the surface tension and fluidity of the milk foam or cream, as well as the density and color of the tea, to form different patterns. Flower painting refers to drawing patterns on the surface of tea with milk foam or cream, using the surface tension and fluidity of milk foam or cream, as well as the color of the tea, to show different effects.
The steps for the pour method are as follows:
Prepare tea and milk foam or cream. The tea can be any kind of tea, but it is best to have a darker color such as black tea, green tea, oolong tea, etc., which can provide a clear contrast with milk foam or cream. Milk froth or cream can be made with a whisk or blender, or with ready-made milk froth or cream jars. The texture of milk foam or cream should be dense and elastic, not too runny or too thick.
Pour the tea into a cup, leaving some space. The temperature of the tea should be suitable for drinking, not too hot or too cold, otherwise it will affect the state of milk foam or cream.
Pour milk foam or cream into the tea, controlling the speed and angle of pouring. The speed and angle of pouring can affect the distribution and movement of milk foam or cream in the tea, which in turn affects the formation of the pattern. Generally speaking, the faster the pouring speed and the smaller the angle, the easier it is for the milk foam or cream to sink to the bottom of the tea, forming a layered feeling;The slower the pouring speed and the greater the angle, the easier it is for the milk foam or cream to float on the surface of the tea, creating a flat feeling. Depending on your preferences and skills, you can adjust the speed and angle of pouring to create different patterns.
Observe and appreciate the effects of latte art. After pouring milk foam or cream, there will be some changes in the tea, such as the mixing of colors, the change of patterns, the generation of bubbles, etc. These variations are all part of the latte art and can give a visual and gustatory enjoyment. You can use your camera or mobile phone to take pictures of the moment of latte art, or you can taste the taste of latte art directly.
The steps to draw the flower method are as follows:
Prepare tea and milk foam or cream. The choice of tea and milk foam or cream is the same as pouring method, but it should be noted that the texture of milk foam or cream should be denser and more uniform, and there should be no large bubbles or moisture, otherwise it will affect the effect of painting flowers.
Pour the tea into a cup, leaving some space. The temperature of the tea is the same as the pouring method, so it should be suitable for drinking.
Fill the milk foam or cream into a container that can be squeezed, such as ** bag, squeeze bag, syringe, etc. The size and shape of the container can be chosen according to your preferences and skills, but you should pay attention to the caliber of the container to be moderate, not too big or too small, otherwise it will affect the fineness and smoothness of the painting.
Draw a pattern on the surface of the tea and control the force and direction of the squeeze. The force and direction of the squeeze will affect the distribution and movement of the milk foam or cream on the surface of the tea, thus affecting the formation of the pattern. Generally speaking, the greater the force of the squeeze and the straighter the direction, the easier it is for the milk foam or cream to penetrate the surface of the tea and form a three-dimensional effectThe smaller the force of the squeeze and the more curved the direction, the easier it is for the milk foam or cream to stay on the surface of the tea, forming a flat feeling. Depending on your preferences and skills, you can adjust the force and direction of the squeeze to create different patterns.
