The invention relates to a method for feeding lubricant during hot rolling, in which the surfaces of the rolling rolls are fed with a lubricating emulsion, characterized in that said lubricating emulsion, consisting of a lubricating oil having a viscosity between 10 cSt and 400 cSt at 40° C., mixed with water, is directed onto the surfaces of the rolling rolls via at least one lubricant feed nozzle, at a temperature above 0° C. but below 25° C.
