Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 18 grams espresso coffee beans
- 200 milliliters almond milk
Instructions
Start by grinding fresh espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency, using 18 grams of coffee beans for a double shot of espresso.
Heat your espresso machine and pull a double shot of espresso into a cup. This should yield about 60 milliliters of espresso.
Measure and pour 200 milliliters of almond milk into a small saucepan or milk steamer.
Heat the almond milk gently on the stove over medium heat, stirring occasionally until it reaches 55-60°C (131-140°F). Do not let it boil.
If using a steam wand, steam the almond milk until it reaches a temperature of 55-60°C (131-140°F). Aim for a microfoam consistency with small, fine bubbles.
Once heated, give the almond milk a gentle swirl to mix the foam with the liquid for a creamy texture without separating.
Slowly pour the steamed almond milk over the double shot of espresso, aiming for a silky and even distribution to create a smooth flat white.
Optionally, give the surface a gentle shake to eliminate large bubbles and create a glossy, even finish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your homemade almond flat white.
