Here\u2019s all about this espresso drink: how it\u2019s different from a latte, and how to make a flat white at home!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ingredients<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>2&nbsp;espresso shots (2 ounces)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>4 ounces\u00a0steamed milk<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Instructions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Prep for the flat white:<\/strong>&nbsp;Grind and tamp the espresso, but don\u2019t pull it. Store your milk jug in the refrigerator: the colder the milk is the more time you have to get the right texture.&nbsp; Or, rinse it in very cold water, dry and refrigerate for a few minutes. Fill your milk jug to just below the spout, about \u00be cup, using very fresh whole milk (or oat milk for vegan).&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make the espresso:<\/strong>\u00a0Use an\u00a0espresso machine\u00a0or\u00a0manual espresso maker\u00a0to make two shots of espresso and pour it into a mug (or try our\u00a0Aeropress Espresso).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Steaming method (espresso machine):<\/strong>\u00a0Heat the steam wand. Once prepared, place the wand just below the surface of the milk about \u00bd inch from the side, tilting the jug slightly. Keep it in that position for about 5 to 10 seconds, stretching the milk by about 20 to 25% in height, with very slight movements up and down. Once stretched and slightly foamy, lower the nozzle about another \u00bd inch and tilt the pitcher just enough to get a spinning vortex, which incorporates the foam, turning it into a velvety microfoam. Keep that still and spinning until the temperature is about 150 degrees Fahrenheit. (Using a\u00a0pitcher with a temperature sticker\u00a0is very helpful.) Turn off the steam before removing the wand from the jug. Wipe the wand with a clean cloth. Turn it on for 1 second to purge the nozzle.\u00a0 Tap and swirl the pitcher to incorporate any bubbles on top. The final texture should look like wet paint or melted ice cream, smooth and velvety. You\u2019ll use only about half of this quantity and can discard the rest (see the * note below).\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>OR, heat the milk to scalding and foam it (without espresso machine):<\/strong>\u00a0Heat the milk to 150 degrees Fahrenheit, which is hot to the touch but not simmering. Measure with a food thermometer, or you can approximate by testing with your finger. Use a\u00a0milk frother,\u00a0French press\u00a0or whisk to froth milk into small, even bubbles. For a latte you\u2019ll want small bubbles and lightly thickened milk (if you\u2019re using a milk frother, don\u2019t go too far: you want the milk to mix in with the coffee so you don\u2019t need too much froth**). For the French press method, note that it\u2019s useful to have at least 1 cup to have more milk to work with: this makes enough for 2 drinks. We highly recommend reading\u00a0How to Froth Milk\u00a0if this is your first time frothing. Wait 30 seconds to 1 minute to get the foam to incorporate into the milk and separate slightly (exact timing depends on your foaming method).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve:<\/strong>&nbsp;Tap the milk container on counter and swirl it to break down any large bubbles. Pour milk into center of the espresso, ending with light foam.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is a flat white?
