In the meantime, master this latte art!
How to Etch a Turkey Latte Art
Here at BPS we are constantly finding new ways to change up a latte. In commemoration of Thanksgiving, we would like to share our Turkey Latte Art technique with you.
This etched art can be made with your choice of latte or hot chocolate. In preparation, have your tools and ingredients ready.
Tools you will need:
Sharp tipped metal thermometer, skewer, or toothpick to etch with
Fine nozzle squeeze bottle
Ingredients:
Espresso or hot chocolate mix of your choice
Milk (we suggest whole milk)
Chocolate Sauce (try the new Torani Salted Chocolate Caramel Sauce)
First prepare your sauce by decanting it into a fine nozzle squeeze bottle. Check the thickness of the sauce by squeezing some out onto a napkin. If the sauce is too runny, place it in the freezer for ten minutes. If it is too thick, set the bottle in a bowl of hot water or on top of a warm espresso machine.
Next, make your espresso or hot chocolate base. Steam your milk. The key is to get a solid layer of microfoam on top of your beverage to act as a canvas for the etching. If you are just starting out as a barista, we suggest that you spoon extra foamed milked onto the latte to give yourself a solid surface to work on.
Now for the fun part! Starting on one side, scribble a backward “S” followed by a back and forth snake pattern. The backward “S” will become the head and body of your turkey, and the snake pattern will become stripes for your turkey tail. Using the end of a thermometer or another pointed tool, draw across your snake pattern towards a point at the bottom of the backwards “S”. Pull straight lines from the edge of the cup to a radial center point. Finally, take your pointed tool and dab an eye, and a beak. Practice makes perfect, but at least this is a much easier than roasting a bird.
