The search engine behemoth appears to be honoring the delicious Flat White beverage. However, what is Flat White exactly, and why is it so popular? Let’s explore this creamy coffee blend’s world in detail.

A symphony of espresso and milk: Flat White is a coffee drink that originated from Australia and New Zealand. It occupies a sweet spot between a strong espresso and a milky latte.

Here’s what makes it different:
The espresso base uses one or two shots of flat white espresso, which forms the heart of the drink and provides a strong coffee flavor.

 Unlike cooked milk latte Flat White – uses  a small amount of milk  usually two parts of milk in a one part espresso. It creates a silky smooth texture without enhancing the taste of the coffee.

More about white coffee

 The key to a perfectly flat white color lies in the milky texture. Unlike lattes with a thick layer of foamy foam.

 Flat whites require microfoam

– Small bubbles, contained in milk create a velvety consistency.

 It provides a more bold coffee punch than lattes while remaining smoother and less intense than straight espresso.

Here’s what coffee lovers like about it: The rich and bold taste of the espresso base ensures a satisfying coffee taste. Silky smooth texture microfoam creates a magnificent mouthfeel. Perfect size Compared to large lattes, flat whites provide a more focused coffee experience in a manageable portion.

Instructions:-

 
1. Espresso is cooking, heat your milk and make a foam in it. Aim for temperatures between 140 ° F (60 ° C) and 150 ° F (65 ° C).

2.  If using a steamer stick, create a whirling effect in the milk while pouring air to create microfoam.

3. If using a French press, heat the milk and quickly roll the plunger up and down to form a foam. Tap and swirl the milk pot on the counter to remove any large bubbles, then gently swirl the milk to create a smooth consistency. Pour the espresso shot into your mug. Hold the microfoam magic milk jug just above the espresso and pour slowly. Begin by adding a thin stream of milk to create a white base. Turn over and as soon as the mug is full, tilt the pot to form a white ring in the center.

Optional: For lovers of latte art, this is your canvas. Gently pour the remaining milk to form a thin layer of microfoam on top.

Sweeten (optional) sprinkle sugar, aromatic syrup or cocoa powder if desired.
