After hearing coffee pulling flowers, I have never seen the flowers on the tea soup. Netizens also left a message: "I'm afraid it is not the earliest pulling flower in the world."

How to achieve coffee flower pulling flowers

Let's start with our most familiar coffee. If coffee wants to pull flowers, it is inseparable from the blessing of milk. According to the formation method, coffee pulling flowers mainly include two types: pulling flowers and carving. "Pulling flowers" refers to the use of professional methods to "pull" patterns while pouring hot milk in concentrated coffee, while "carving" is to use chocolate sauce or toothpicks and other auxiliary products after the original coffee is tuned. The process of creating creation.

In the process of pulling flowers, what is indispensable is "milk bubbles". So how does milk foam formation? Milk bubbles can be simply understood as a combination of "milk+air". Milk contains two proteins -casein and milk protein. In the coffee shop, we can often see that the barista uses the steam high temperature to make milk foam. Under the high temperature and high speed, millions of tiny bubbles are beaten into milk. One by one separate bubbles. At the same time, these bubbles are also covered with casein containing surfactants, which increase the surface tension between the gas and the liquid, so that the bubbles can be more stable and lasting.

The reason why milk can be used to pull flowers is because coffee contains fat. The fat on the surface of the coffee can form a large surface tension, which supports the milk -rich milk foam. In the process of pulling flowers, the continuous shaking flower method changes the flow and flow rate of the milk foam, and then form a variety of pull -flower patterns on the surface of the coffee.

Pull flowers on tea -tea 100 show

Unlike coffee pulling flowers, it needs to be used with milk. Tea 100 opera does not need to assist other ingredients. It can be created by the tea soup itself and a bowl of water. Tea 100 drama, also known as tea division, Shuidanqing, Tang opera, tea show, etc., is a very popular tea art technique in the Song Dynasty. With tea as paper and water as ink, a few can draw meaning text and patterns on the tea soup. Tea Hundred Opera originated in the Tang Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty developed to its peak. It was a kind of tea cultural activity that literati and pokekes were very highly respected at that time.

This kind of ancient tea art is very similar to today's coffee pulling flowers, and it is also drawn pattern on the surface of the drink, but the technique is different. Tea soup that can be divided into tea is not a simple tea, but a work after ordering tea. First of all, the tea master needs to make fresh tea into tea cakes and save it with a tea baking cage. When needed, take out a piece of tea, grind it with tea grinding it into powder, and then sieve it many times.

Then, a small amount of boiling water is injected into the tea lattice, and it is prepared into a thick paste. As the boiling water continues to join a little bit, under the brush of tea, the water blends with the tea, and the tea foam is glowing on its surface.

If you want to get the tea foam you can paint, you need to keep stirring with tea, so that the water, tea powder, and air are fully exposed and fused. In addition, the tea saponin contains the tea itself, and the tea foam will become more in the process of stirring. The thicker, it is more and more dense. It is not until the mixing of the soup flower close to the cup wall.

After ordering the tea, the next step is to divide tea. Dividing tea is to dip the water with a small spoon, and use the tension of the water to cut the soup flowers on the surface to create, the so -called "soup water vein".

In the production of tea Baizhu and coffee pulling flowers, foam is a decentralized system that is scattered in the liquid. Only when the gas and liquid are fully exposed to the foam, the foam can be produced. If you want to get a stable foam, you cannot leave the surfactant. Surface active agents generally have hydrophilic end and hydrophobic end, which allows it to be distributed on the interface of the gas liquid, reduce the surface tension of the system, and stabilize the foam in the liquid.

In the tea hundred opera, the surfactant that works is tea saponin. This is a type of compound of a complex structured type of structure. Like casein in milk, it is also a type of surfactant. ability.

Although coffee flowers and tea 100 shows seem to be similar, there are many differences. For example, the production of coffee pull flowers requires the participation of milk. Light -colored pull flowers are milk bubbles, and they use the tension of fat surface. The dark colors in the tea Baizhu pattern are tea foam, and the light color is the true nature of the tea soup after the tea soup is opened, and the tension of water is used.

As a precious cultural heritage and scarce tea cultural resources in China, the path of the inheritance of tea hundreds of dramas is very bumpy. Since the Yuan Dynasty, the tea art of tea has gradually become slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly slightly ministers. Although there are records, it has never achieved the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.
