Start by preparing the espresso. Grind 18 grams of espresso coffee beans to a fine consistency suitable for espresso machines.
Fill the portafilter with the ground coffee, tamp it down evenly to ensure a smooth extraction, and lock it into the espresso machine.
Pour 2 fluid ounces of water into the espresso machine and start the machine to pull a double shot of espresso. This should take around 25-30 seconds.
While the espresso is brewing, heat 6 fluid ounces of unsweetened low-sodium oat milk. You can do this using a steam wand if you have an espresso machine or by warming the oat milk in a small saucepan over low heat until it reaches about 150Β°F. Avoid boiling the milk.
If you're using a steam wand, position the wand just below the surface of the milk to create microfoam. If using a saucepan, gently whisk the milk to create a slight froth.
Once the espresso is ready, pour it into a pre-warmed cup.
Slowly add the frothed oat milk to the espresso, starting by pouring the milk into the center of the cup, then moving in a circular motion to create a creamy blend with the espresso, finishing with the foam.
Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy Low Sodium Oat Milk Flat White.
