Ever wanted to practice your latte art skills but can’t afford to waste all that espresso? Las Vegas-based barista Mason Salisbury certainly has, and that’s why he’s come up with a clever alternative. Instead of using espresso, he uses food dye.

Have a look at the pictures below to see his brilliant coffee art creations for yourself. He makes these colorful drawings by steaming milk which he then infuses with food dye before pouring the foam into a cup of coffee. He finishes his unique art off with an artistic flourish in order to create these beautiful multi-colored leaf patterns.

Like this cool art? Then be sure to head on over to his Instagram page where you can find many more of his fantastic creations. Coffee never looked so good, especially when it isn’t even coffee!

    Really beautiful. I'm curious to see a picture of people with the technicolor lips after drinking this! Rainbow teeth - that could be the next trend!

    Nice to look at, but food dye is supposed to be used in very small quantities. One of two drops is enough to dye an entire bowl of cake batter for example. So just drinking down that much food dye with my latte.....Nah.

    Very pretty to look at. But I probably would not drink it
