Re: Cheaper alternative for Latte art practice!!

OK so here goes. I just tried a soy dishwashing liquid combo and found that the water did indeed look like milk there was no body to it. It was just thin and hadlittle bubbles in it. I poured 2 and while it did work I would not say it was a success. I will say that it proberly cleaned my steam want a little and I made extra sure to purge it for a while after.
So if we could thichen up the water then it could work. As I type I though about using a little corn flower in the water to thicken it while you steam. mmmmm that might work. Might have to try that.
Ill let you know when I have done it

Re: Cheaper alternative for Latte art practice!!

Awesome idea and it works --- but I still get into trouble for using all the milk. I think I am keeping dairy farmers going. Im sure you are helping out too. But what about coming up with a cheep substitute for milk as well. :

Re: Cheaper alternative for Latte art practice!!

I get my practice on hot chocolate. Surely that has to be the first thing you think of. Right?

Re: Cheaper alternative for Latte art practice!!

Greate lateral thinking, i would never have thought of that one.
Certainly not one you want to drink though.

Me thinks if i try this at home i will get more than one odd look
