# Tips from hearthlykitchen:
01 -
- Its the kind of energy that feels like a warm hug instead of a jolt to your nervous system
- Once you nail the whisking technique, you will feel ridiculously sophisticated making cafe worthy drinks at home
02 -
- Water temperature is everything I learned this the hard way after wasting perfectly good powder on boiling water
- Bamboo whisks called chasen create superior foam but a tiny regular whisk works if you put some muscle into it
03 -
- Invest in a proper sifter or that tiny mesh strainer in your drawer will become your best friend
- Whisking in a W pattern creates more aeration than circular motions, giving you that coveted foam layer
