Add steamed milk to coffee - Slowly pour the steamed milk into the brewed espresso, allowing the foam to rise gently to the top.

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder optionally - Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon or cocoa powder on top of the foam for an additional flavor.

ICED COFFEE WITH MILK: A REFRESHING TWIST

Iced coffee is a great way to switch up how you enjoy your coffee —  particularly on warm days, or when you need an energizing pick-me-up.

STEPS:

Brew your coffee - Guides recommend brewing your coffee stronger than normal if you prefer a bolder flavor (that would help it remain potent once chilled). Cool to room temperature or refrigerate for a quicker chill.

Mix the glass - Add ice cubes to a glass (enough to fill the glass, leaving enough room for the coffee and milk).

Pour in the cooled coffee - Once your coffee is cool, pour it over the ice so the ice can further chill the coffee.

Add chilled milk and stir well - Pour chilled milk into the coffee to your liking for a perfectly balanced drink and stir it all together. 

HOW TO MAKE A FLAT WHITE: SMOOTH COFFEE WITH MILK

Making a flat white which is creamy and has a silk finish. It’s the perfect option for coffee lovers who enjoy a more subtle, less frothy milk experience.

STEPS:

Pull your espresso – Begin by pulling a shot of espresso. This will make the strong, bold base of your flat white.

Steam the milk to a velvety consistency – With a milk steamer or frother, steam your milk to a smooth velvety consistency. The trick is not to froth and froth, but to achieve a creamy texture, not a frothy foamy one.

Slowly pour steamed milk into espresso – Slowly pour your steamed milk into the brewed espresso, letting the two blend into a creamy, smooth coffee.

Tips: A flat white usually has less milk than a latte, resulting in a stronger espresso flavor, while still being creamy. A good all-around is Whole Milk for the desired silkiness, but feel free to switch up the milk for your best flavor!
