Midnight Chorus
Flat White in a charcoal diner
A flat white in a charcoal diner, #182 of 999. Sunbeam light, tile counter. Tulip on the surface. Knit sleeve. Common, roast score 104.
The recipe
17.3 g · 29 g ristretto · 140 ml milk
- Pull a ristretto — stop it short, around thirty grams, so it stays sweet under the milk.
- Steam 140 ml to 60 °C with barely any air. The texture you want is paint, not foam.
- Pour close to the surface from the start. A flat white is mostly the pour.
- Pour from height to sink the foam, then drop the jug to the surface and walk a tulip through the crema.
