Idle Lantern
Flat White in a slate diner
A flat white in a slate diner, #827 of 999. Blackout light, marble counter. Common, roast score 109.1.
The recipe
18.1 g · 30 g ristretto · 129 ml milk
- Pull a ristretto — stop it short, around thirty grams, so it stays sweet under the milk.
- Steam 129 ml to 61 °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.
