" uff..i don't know how to mix this cream.."
Payal watched at her coffee, she was confident enough to deny chefs help.she was making latte with cream. Looking at her extra bitter coffee with zero taste,dejected Payal sank into nearby chair.
**************
Smiling energetic, wrapping her wrap coat over sundress. Not bothering to alert others, Khushi stepped down into kitchen isl . Payal was the least expected gust in kitchen.
Afternoon blues led her here.
Khushi Gupta stepping to kitchen island was her last anchor. Waving at her sister in law, Payal gestured Khushi to come over by raising her coffee mug.
Khushi strolled forward. She's new here. Boredom is killing her. She was never been this much idle in her life. The confused house helpers bowed with respect. They rarely witnessed raizada family members in kitchen area. Now it's blue moon, both daughter in laws are here.
Smothering a yawn Khushi smiled at Payal.
Raizada household is kinda boring ecosystem to her. Not doing anything, just sleeping on luxury making her idle.
Planting variety of orchids in Arnavs abandoned greenhouse is her time killing activity .
She asked om Prakash and Jai that she doesn't want any extra help than making greenhouse in good shape. They renovated it,and made it good condition.
Now she's exercising her gardening ideas there..!
Beat the afternoon energy dip with a cosy coffee treat,was her idea. But looking at the crowd she's kind of disappoimented.
She expected a deserted kitchen..!
Payal briefly explained her failed vanilla latte making expedition. Gazing Khushi with puppy eyes poor Payal presented her coffee mug.
Khushi exhaled,Payal was not sure if Khushi grasping or not. You tube video was exhilarating, however reality is pitch black.
'Coffee making is an art'
Once her friend was told , she was assistant in his caffe,he was expertised in all types of coffee making, artistically presenting it with lot of effort. Seeing latte coffee or capaccino with hearts shaped creams on top in videos are different, nobody can makes it so easily, it needs practice.
" let me see if we can make it or not.."
Patting on Payals shoulder Khushi sympathised. Payal is a dramatic person. She express what she felt.
All they wanted was whole milk, vanilla syrup and espresso.
Raizada kitchen already have brand new kitchen amenities. They have stovetop espresso maker,French press,and counter top machine to make espresso. Choosing counter top machine, which was her comfort coffee machine, Khushi brewed espresso in it.
Whisking vanilla syrup and milk together in a small saucepan with low medium heat,Khushi started to warm milk she heated it until it starts steam and foam. Then using a milk frother removed heat and froth.
Brewing coffee into two mugs, she professionally top it with vanilla milk form and all,at the end she artistically made a creamy heart on latte top.
Wiping hands clean, Khushi gingerly offered s mug of latte with cream to Payal and one for herself.
Delighted, Payal was almost whistled,it was a treat to watch Khushi while she was on duty, at the end she effortlessly, like a professional made a heart shape on her creamy latte.
