About
A flat white is a latte made with espresso and topped with lightly frothed milk. It typically has a higher proportion of espresso to milk and is topped with a thinner layer of milk as compared to a latte.
How do I make frothed milk at home?
You will need a milk frother for this recipe for the best results. Place cold milk in the milk frother and follow the manufacturer directions on how to froth the milk.
What kind of coffee should I use?
A flat white is made with espresso, not coffee. If you do not own an espresso machine, you can use a single pod coffee machine and brew on the most robust setting or use a traditional coffee maker but double the strength of coffee by halving the water used in the brewing process.
What kind of milk should I use?
This recipe uses dairy-free coconut milk-based heavy cream to achieve a velvety texture for the foam.
Ingredients
- 6 fluid ounce espresso
- 1 tablespoon mct oil
- ¼ cup silk heavy whipping cream
- 1 tablespoon sugar free french vanilla syrup by torani
Instructions
