For my rather lovely cat who was less than lovely last night when he kept me awake hurtling from one end of my flat to the other into the wee hours. Here's two of my favourite things together at last - cats and coffee! Courtesy of: The Endearing Designer, Blueblots, Incredible Things and Bit Rebels. Happy (very sleepy) Friday everyone

I found some instructions on how to make a Valentines heart latte courtesy of Food Service Warehouse:

Heart  The heart is a sweet way to show your latte drinkers a little love. The design is simple but affords room for many different variations. 

Pour the milk into the center of the cup until the milk begins to pool in the center.

Start moving the milk pitcher from side to side in a vigorous motion t

Move the pitcher towards the edge of the cup more slowly, for zigzagging milk that is fairly close together.

When you reach the edge of the cup, move the pitcher to the opposite edge of the cup, effectively cutting the zigzag pattern in half and creating a heart.

The image here is from rate my rosetta which has loads of great tips and ideas for making your own latte art.

I'm not the hugest fan of a Latte - espressos, americanos with a dash of milk or a ristretto is good with me. If I'm really tired I might chuck a sugar cube into a coffee (but never milk and sugar). I found this cute picture on http://theberry.com/ - do you have any coffee rituals?
