Method

To create a heart design, pour the frothed milk in to your coffee. Make sure the milk is mixed in and allow a small white spot to form in the centre. Whip the milk back through the centre of the circle to form the heart.

To create a rosetta or fern design, pour the frothed milk in to the centre of your coffee, wiggling to the left and right as you pour. Whip the milk back through the centre while pouring to form the centre of the leaf.
