Tips & Variations
Use whole milk or barista-style plant milk like oat or almond for the greatest foam. Freshly brewed espresso is best, but strong coffee will work too! Don’t use too much rose; it’s fragile and a little goes a long way.
No syrup made from roses? You can make your own by cooking 1/2 cup of sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and 1 tablespoon of rose water together until the mixture thickens a little. Want it cold? Don’t froth; just pour everything over ice! To make it even cozier, add a cinnamon stick to stir it.
You may prepare the rose syrup ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks. This latte is best when it’s fresh, but you can keep the rose syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks.
