Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main
  • 2 ounces espresso freshly brewed
  • 6 ounces whole milk or milk of your choice

Equipment

  • Espresso machine or stovetop espresso maker
  • Milk frother or steam wand
  • Coffee grinder
  • Measuring cup
  • Cup or glass for serving

Method
 

  1. Brew the espresso using freshly ground coffee for the best flavor. The espresso should have a rich, thick crema on top.
  2. In a small saucepan, gently heat your milk over medium heat. You want it warm, not boiling, to achieve that perfect microfoam.
  3. Using a milk frother or steam wand, froth the heated milk until it’s velvety and has a creamy texture.
  4. Pour the freshly brewed espresso into your cup. Then, gently pour the frothed milk over the espresso, allowing the foam to float on top.
  5. If you're feeling adventurous, try your hand at latte art by pouring the milk in a circular motion.
  6. Take a sip of your flat white. If you prefer a sweeter taste, consider adding a sprinkle of cocoa or a drizzle of honey.
  7. Enjoy your flat white right away while it's still warm. It's best fresh!
  8. Clean your equipment after use to ensure better tasting coffee next time.

Notes

Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture. Experiment with different milk types for varied taste and texture.
