# Flat White

A flat white is a coffee drink consisting of espresso mixed with microfoam.  
  
Microfoam is steamed milk with small, fine bubbles and a glossy or velvety consistency.  
  
For our coffee at Lake Safari Lodge, we use a 1:3 ratio, so ristretto (30mls) or espresso (40mls) to 120 mls of milk.
