Latte in a terracotta diner

The recipe
18.3 g · 34 g out · 185 ml whole milk · 63 °C
- Pull a double into the diner and have the jug ready before it finishes.
- Steam 185 ml of whole milk to 66 °C: air for the first two seconds only, then drop the tip under and spin it until the jug is too hot to hold.
- Knock the jug, swirl until it shines, and pour.
- Spoon the foam on last so it sits proud of the rim rather than folding in.
- Build the foam a centimetre above the rim and let it set for a moment before it travels.
