Pro Tips
Pro Tips
- Rose water intensity: Start with 2 drops - rose water is potent and can overpower the drink
- Milk temperature: Keep milk cold before nitro charging for best foam texture
- Espresso timing: Extract immediately before serving to preserve crema interaction with nitro foam
- Equipment maintenance: Clean nitro whipper thoroughly between uses to prevent flavor contamination
- Alternative: If no nitro whipper available, use French press to create dense foam
