This is a stronger milk-based drink than a latte, as it uses the same amount of espresso but with a smaller amount of steamed milk.
Flat White Recipe:
Our recipe calls for a 20g double shot of espresso at a 1:2 ratio resulting in 40g (1.4 ounces) of espresso extraction. We will top off our espresso with 100g (3.5 ounces) of milk resulting in a perfect 5-ounce Flat White!
In terms of frothiness, the flat white should only have around 0.5cm of thick milk foam at the top of the drink. This is half of the foam of a latte and 1/3 of a cappuccino.
