Mastering 3D Latte Art: The Foam Science You’re Missing
The secret to 3D latte art isn’t in the recipe—it’s in the science of foam. If your warm milk foam collapses under chocolate syrup, you’re not failing; you’re missing the alchemy of texture and temperature. The YouTube duo Ms Shi and Mr He achieve their intricate designs by balancing fat content, protein structure, and heat control—elements you’re overlooking. Their foam isn’t just airy; it’s a stable matrix that holds shape without collapsing. The problem starts with your milk’s temperature. Warm milk (65°C) lacks the viscosity needed to anchor syrup. Fat molecules in milk need to cool slightly to solidify into…
