Here's a simple recipe to make a Broomfield Coffee Flat White using our popular Lemon Drizzle coffee beans from Honduras. We have all been involved in the long-running debate about where this drink originated from, Australia or New Zealand? Regardless of it's origin, this creamy coffee has taken the world by storm. It's simply a double espresso with heated, textured milk that's flat at the top (less foamy than a latte or cappuccino)

Ingredients

  • Lemon drizzle coffee beans (freshly ground)
  • Hot water (for brewing)
  • Milk (whole, oat, or your choice, for steaming)
  • Sweetener (optional, like sugar or honey)

Equipment

  • Espresso machine or a pour-over setup
  • Milk frother or steam wand
  • Scale (optional, for precision)
  • Coffee grinder

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee:

    • Measure 18-20 grams of Lemon Drizzle coffee beans.
    • Grind them to a fine espresso grind.

  2. Brew the Espresso:

    • If using an espresso machine, tamp the grounds evenly into the portafilter and brew a double shot (about 30-40ml).
    • If using a pour-over method, brew using your preferred technique, aiming for a strong concentration.

  3. Steam the Milk:

    • Pour about 150ml of milk into a steaming pitcher.
    • Use a steam wand to froth the milk until it reaches around 60-65°C (140-150°F), creating microfoam. Aim for a velvety texture by creating a whirlpool motion (Remember there should be no hissing sound or milk drops flying every where as this will lead to a thick milk texture).

  4. Combine:

    • Pour the brewed Lemon Drizzle espresso into a cup (150-170ml).
    • Gently pour the steamed milk over the espresso, starting from the center and working your way out to create a nice shape.

  5. Serve:

    • Enjoy your Broomfield Flat White!

Tips

  • Experiment with the milk-to-coffee ratio to find your perfect balance.
  • Adjust the grind size if your espresso pulls too quickly or too slowly.

Enjoy your delicious flat white!
