You\u2019ll need fresh whole milk and single-origin arabica coffee for the best results.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>How do you prepare a flat white?<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Make a double espresso<\/li>\n<li>Steam the milk to 55\u201362 \u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>Give the milk jug a thump on the counter and swirl the milk lightly<\/li>\n<li>Get creative with latte art!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Flat white vs cappuccino: what\u2019s the difference?<\/h2>\n<p>A flat white is a stronger cappuccino because it lacks the extra 60 ml of steamed milk that the cappuccino has and it\u2019s also got less foam (only a thin layer of frothed milk).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Why do they call it a flat white?<\/h2>\n<p>Since it\u2019s not as frothy as a cappuccino and it\u2019s white, the name really is a no brainer!<\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>Who invented the flat white?<\/h2>\n<p>There\u2019s a bit of a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.independent.co.uk\/life-style\/flat-white-coffee-culture-antipodean-mcdonalds-advert-starbucks-latte-a8246111.html\">rivalry<\/a> between Australia and New Zealand when it comes to the origins of this coffee beverage. On one side, there\u2019s the owner of Moors Espresso Bar in Sydney, on the other there\u2019s Kiwi Frank McInnes who claims he invented it one day when he was unable to properly froth milk. We\u2019ll probably never know who invented it for sure, but we\u2019re forever thankful someone did, it\u2019s so delicious!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>And to top it off \u2026 don\u2019t forget latte art!<\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s nice little touches like these that make customers come back, so it\u2019s worth learning how to do it, even if it\u2019s just the basic heart shape! Begin the pour a little high and move it in circles, as the cup starts to fill, lower the milk jug closer to the cup and tilt the cup itself as well, then strike through.<br \/>\nPractice with water to get all the gestures right and you\u2019ll soon be able to serve heart-topped flat whites!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>\n<p><iframe title=\"The perfect Flat White\" width=\"885\" height=\"498\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/LJngjydXaJE?feature=oembed&#038;enablejsapi=1&#038;origin=https:\/\/www.biepi.net\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cats\"><span class=\"cats__title\">Categories<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.biepi.net\/wakeup\/cat\/coffee\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Coffee<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.biepi.net\/wakeup\/cat\/tips-tricks\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Tips &amp; Tricks<\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you were able to drill a tunnel through the earth from anywhere in Italy, you\u2019d find yourself close to the coast of New Zealand,..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":3135,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[15,16],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v16.1.1 -
