Iron Theory
Flat White in a sage mug
A flat white in a sage mug, #585 of 999. Dusk light, tile counter. Tulip on the surface. Common, roast score 80.5.
The recipe
17.6 g · 28 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 wiggle a tulip through the crema.
