Directions
It is unclear whether the term “flat white” was coined in Australia or New Zealand, but we do know the drink is basically a cappuccino without the foam. The flat white became popular in the United States after Starbucks added it to their menu. The flat white is very similar to a cappuccino but has no foam at all. You might order a flat white when you want an espresso drink that is a bit stronger than a latte but without as much foam as a cappuccino.
A flat white an espresso made similar to a latte or cappuccino expect it does not have any micro-foam or chocolate on top drink, it contains only with textured milk.
- Extract 1 shot of espresso around 2 oz or 75 ml into a cup.
- Add steamed milk and with less or no micro-foam.
Tools Needed
- Espresso brewing device
- Milk frother or a whisk and a glass

Prepare Coffee- Pour the espresso into a mug. - Place the milk in a wide glass or glass jar and microwave for 30 seconds until it is very hot but not boiling. Alternatively, heat the milk in a saucepan over medium heat for about 5 minutes until very hot but not boiling, watching it carefully. - Using a milk frother, froth the milk until you don’t see any bubbles and you have a very thick froth, 20 to 30 seconds. - Swirl the glass and lightly tap it on the counter repeatedly to pop the larger bubbles. Repeat this step as needed. - Scoop out and discard any foam on top of the steamed milk. Pour the milk into the center of the espresso, making a tiny white circle in the middle. |

Recipe TipIf you are attempting to make a flat white the way Starbucks does, use 12 ounces of milk instead of 4 ounces and only 1 ounce of espresso. |
