Arte Latte

There's a very touristy avocado farm near Antigua called Finca Filadelfia.  They offer an Arte Latte class that I've been wanting to take for a while.  A few weekends ago I finally got the chance to go!  

The class teaches you how to make a cappuccino- grinding the coffee beans, using the espresso machine, steaming the milk, and making designs in the finished drink.

As much cappuccino as I get here, this class was super interesting.  A little expensive, but basically a private class as it was just me and one friend.  I lost count of how many cups we ended up making!

How the espresso should look if you've done it right!

Ending up with a glob of white.
I managed to draw a "leaf" as I couldn't figure out how to make the design while pouring the milk.  It's harder than it looks!  I guess I won't ever get hired as a barrista.
