Ingredients and Equipment
- ◯ 1 cup of milk (dairy or plant-based)
- ◯ 1 shot of espresso (approximately 1 oz) or 1/2 cup of strong brewed coffee
- ◯ 1 tablespoon of rose syrup, either store-bought or prepared at home
- ◯ 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- ◯ Rose petals that have been dried (optional, for garnish)
- Coffee maker or espresso machine
- Small pot (if you’re preparing rose syrup)
- Whisk or milk frother
- Cup for serving
You may create the rose syrup ahead of time and keep it in the fridge for up to two weeks. That way, you can make this latte whenever you want.
Instructions
- Make the coffee
Make one shot of espresso or half a cup of strong coffee and pour it into your cup. - Warm the milk
Put 1 cup of milk in a small saucepan or microwave and heat it slowly until it is warm but not boiling. - Mix in the vanilla and rose syrup.
Add 1 tablespoon of rose syrup and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the milk and mix. - Make the milk frothy
Use a frother, a whisk, or shake the heated milk in a jar until it is light and foamy. - Pour and serve
Hold back the foam with a spoon and pour the milk over the coffee. Then, spoon the foam on top. You can add dried rose petals as a garnish if you want!
Tips and Variations
- For the finest taste, use fresh, hot espresso. Strong coffee works too!
- No rose syrup? You may make it at home by cooking together 1/2 cup of water, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of rose water until it thickens a little.
- Use a milk frother, a whisk, or even a jar with a lid to shake up your milk and make it even creamier.
- Not any rose syrup? Add a drop of rose water to honey or sugar to make it taste better.
- Want it cold? Don’t froth the milk; just use cold milk and pour everything over ice.
- Instead of foamy milk, add whipped cream on top for an added delight.
- This latte tastes best when it’s fresh, but you can keep any extra rose syrup in the fridge for up to two weeks in an airtight container.
