Latte vs. Flat White
Many coffee drinkers are confused by the difference between an iced latte and an iced flat white. While both contain espresso and milk, the ratios are entirely different. A latte is very milk-heavy and uses a standard single or double shot of espresso. A flat white uses less milk and relies on “ristretto” shots—shorter, more concentrated pulls of espresso that highlight the sweeter, bolder notes of the coffee bean.
The Perfect Flavor Pairing
Because a flat white has a much stronger coffee flavor than a latte, it requires a syrup that can stand up to the intense espresso without getting lost. Muse Toffeenut Syrup is the ultimate choice. The rich, buttery sweetness of the toffee mellows the harshness of the ristretto shots, while the toasted nut profile actively enhances the roasted flavor of the coffee.
The Iced Toffeenut Flat White Recipe
To make this premium drink at home, start by pulling two ristretto espresso shots. While the espresso is hot, stir in two pumps of Muse Toffeenut Syrup to ensure the flavors meld perfectly. Fill a glass with ice and pour in about four to five ounces of whole milk (significantly less milk than you would use for a latte). Pour the sweetened espresso over the milk for a strong, nutty, and perfectly balanced iced beverage.
