Google Doodle celebrates 'flat white coffee', know how to make it

Flat white

A flat white is a coffee drink consisting of espresso with mircofoam. It generally has a higher proportion of espresso to milk with than a caffe latte, and a thinner layer of microfoam than a cappuccino.

You will need

18g fresh fine-grind pact coffee, 120 ml whole milk or a plant based alternative, filtered or bottled water, espresso machine, tamper, drip scale, milk jug, medium sized mug.

Prepare an espresso shot

Usually, espresso is made with the help of a coffee machine, but if you dont have it, dont worry. Just add 1 tbsp coffee powder to a mug and add 3 tbsp hot water to it. Whisk well to combine the coffee with the water. Your DIY espresso shot is ready.

Steam the milk

Steam the milk now. You can use a French press to do so or an electric whisker.

Mix the two

Now gently tilt the mug with the espresso shot and slowly add milk to it in circular motions. Once done, your Flat White is ready to be served.

Tips

You can add a sweetener of your choice, as per your taste.
