Total Time: 7 minutes
Servings: 1
Instructions:
1. Begin by accurately measuring out 10 mL of MONIN Macadamia Nut Syrup, and pour it directly into the bottom of a 12 oz glass.
2. Prepare a double shot of ristretto using your espresso machine. Remember, a ristretto is a very short espresso shot, so you'll need to ensure your machine is set accordingly to extract approximately half the volume of a regular espresso shot with the same amount of coffee grounds.
3. Once you have your ristretto, immediately pour it into the glass over the macadamia nut syrup.
4. Next, take the fresh skim milk and pour it into your steaming pitcher. Use the steam wand on your espresso machine to steam the milk. Aim for less foam than you would for a cappuccino but with enough texture to be slightly velvety, akin to that of a latte.
5. Gently swirl and tap the pitcher on the counter to remove any large bubbles and ensure the milk's texture is smooth and liquid-like.
6. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the glass with the ristretto and macadamia nut syrup, integrating it to create a silky blend.
7. Give it a gentle stir to ensure the flavors are well combined.
8. Serve immediately and enjoy your freshly-made Macadamia Nut Flat White.
Cooking Tips:
- The key to a great flat white is the quality of the ristretto shots; make sure your coffee beans are freshly ground for optimum flavor.
- Properly steaming the milk is essential; aim for milk that's heated to about 60-65°C (140-150°F), with just enough microfoam to give it that signature velvety flat white texture.
