Ingredients
- 20 g espresso beans, ground fine
- 40 mL double ristretto shot
- 120 mL cold whole milk
Method
- Pull a double ristretto (20 g in, ~40 mL out) into a 150 mL (five-ounce) cup or glass.
- Steam 120 mL of milk to 60–65°C with a glossy, flat-white-style microfoam.
- Swirl to settle.
- Pour to fill, finishing with a thin foam layer and optional latte art.
- The magic sits between a flat white and a piccolo — stronger than a flat white, milkier than a piccolo.
