Tried a technique given to me by @chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world. It turned out way better, so thank you! Still haven’t tried latte art yet but the texture is very nice. Excellent mouth feel.
Also an excuse to show off another mug, this time one of my wife’s, as well as my cat stir spoon. I love these spoons, I’ve got maybe 6 different colours. They’re great.
I found for oat/almond milk if you wanna do latte art you need to pull the wand out partially to create foam than put it back in and force the foam down the whirlpool.
It will eventually come to the surface though as it’s not microfoam like with milk lattes. So your art becomes “frumpy” as the foam rises. SO take any photos asap.
The other thing is that you’ll need to prepare more milk than if using dairy based because the foam isn’t evenly distributed. The foam floats on top and you inevitably need more liquid than your cup can hold if you’re aiming for a standard rosetta leaf pour.
I’ll keep that in mind for my next oat latte. Thanks for the tips.
