The skill of drawing on coffee foam is enough for the fans who want to replicate patterns in the home. Many of them would like to practice latte-art, but they are afraid of possible difficulties, so they delay the first experiment with coffee design.
Approaching Christmas is an excellent occasion to afford such aesthetic pleasure. Here are 10 reasons to make a Christmas latte art.
1. These drawings are the most actual way of decorating food from all existing ones.
Patterns of mayonnaise and vegetable carving in salads - the last century. They turn any celebratory party into a tribute to the post-Soviet era, when the list of options for design of dishes was narrowly restricted due to a deficit or high cost of products. In addition, herring "under the fur coat" and olivier, in harmony with carved carrots, are more and more rare at the Christmas or New Year's table - again due to associations with the decline of the USSR. Today, warm friendly parties are in fashion - for example, with mulled wine or coffee-drinking. What else to please your friends by treating them with a fragrant drink, if not by drawings on its surface?
2. Latte art - an excellent occasion for a themed party.
Holiday gatherings on a classic scenario with a TV and a cake are bringing to nothing all the New Year mood. The party should be remembered by a fountain of pleasant emotions received from relatives and friends. How to achieve this? Only with the help of a fun contest, capable of capturing even those who are not interested in such entertainment. Preparation of home competition for drawing on foam consists only of buying symbolic prizes for the first three winners. For example, coffee mugs, with which you can continue training at home.
3. This is the basic design variant, suitable for beginners.
In the network, you can find drawings and master classes on latte-art of varying complexity. But a rare creator of step-by-step lessons will take the instructions for drawing the simplest snowflakes, snowmen or fir-trees. But the difficulties during the first acquaintance with the hobby can generally turn him away. Having bought several stencils for drawing on coffee, the most incapable artist can depict Christmas scenes with cinnamon or chocolate crumbs.
4. Drawing - the best way to recognize in love.
Christmas and New Year - the time of real miracles! Such as strengthening the relationship with a beloved man, the feelings for which so far have to hide. If you have long been looking for the opportunity to admit love to the other half, but did not know how to do it, resort to the help of latte design. On the surface of the drink using a stencil draw a heart and the signature "I love u" under it. It remains only to offer a drink to the boyfriend and enjoy the emotions of the lover!
5. This is an ideal gift for coffee makers.
Undoubtedly, drawing on coffee can not be considered the main gift for Christmas. But what if the recipient of the presentation is especially expensive, so you do not want to get rid of it with a banal service or perfume? Make a gift that can emphasize individual attachment to the addressee. Invite the recipient home to personally present the gift and treat him with a cup of coffee. A delicate cappuccino or strong American with an exquisite design of milky foam will enhance positive emotions from receiving a gift.
6. Coffee with latte-design is combined with Christmas baking.
Foam used for design, gives the drink an extraordinary taste: even professional tasters are sure of it. It is able to unrecognizably change the sound of coffee notes, but only if the taste is not interrupted by sweets with a lot of sugar. Ginger Christmas biscuits (gingerbread and cookies) do not interrupt the sensual enjoyment of whipped milk, mixed with the bitter coffee bitterness.
7. Stencils for latte design for Christmas can not only be bought, but also made by themselves.
One of the main problems that arise for those who are only acquainted with this art is the purchase of special stencils. They are rarely found in specialized coffee shops, and an order from an online auction is delivered indefinitely. Disposable clichés for patterns can be made in minutes from paper or cardboard. The simplest pattern of a Christmas tree or a snowman, familiar to everyone from a kindergarten, is easier to cut than a complex floral ornament.
8. Latte art diversifies festive selfies.
What pictures most often fall into the social network during the holiday holidays? Of course, a photo in the company of a Christmas tree, a generously set table and salute. Stand out against the background of a monotonous tape is not as difficult as it seems at first glance. You can take a warm picture with a friend and two cups with a Christmas design.
9. Latte art helps to remove accumulated stress.
About a weekend for New year and Christmas dream not less, than about holiday. Spontaneous vacation is associated with relaxation and the struggle with emotional burnout, accumulated over several months of hard work. In order to relax from colleagues and deadlines, it is not necessary to go for a massage or take antidepressants. Caffeine helps to survive stressful situations, and if it is decorated with milk foam (which contains tryptophan) - it also struggles with insomnia.
10. The rest of coffee can be used for Christmas spa treatments.
After experiments with latte-art, there is always a significant amount of dense, since only natural coffee is suitable as a material. During the holidays the girls adore pampering themselves with all sorts of masks, peelings and aromatic baths. Coffee grounds is considered the best scrub for combating cellulite and excess weight. After spending girlfriends after a latte party, be sure to take a hot shower and tone the skin of the buttocks with such an organic scrub.
