Rose Latte

 


I had this rose latte in a posh cafe with a friend of mine. She highly recommended this flower tea latte for me to try and i shall thank her for the recommemdation. Indeed, it was one cup of heaven. I couldn't stop sipping the flower tea and almost ordered another cup of it..greedy me 😆. It was really gooddddddd.

Back home i give it a try and walla it came out really well. The key to the recepi is the steeping process. A well induced flavor of rose flower steeping in hot milk brings out the essence of the beverage to the core. Use a heavy bottomed pan to avoid the milk from burning.

You may use fresh red rose petals or dried version for the recepi but do make sure it's organic. The least we want is the chemical and pesticide loaded flowers for the tea. I used beetroot powder to give that wonderful red/pink colur to this delicious hot latte. Feel free to use few drops of fresh beetroot juice if you have any. No more cafe visit for my rose latte as i could easily make them on my own 😁.

Ingredients

1 cup whole milk

1/3 tsp beetroot powder

2 tbsp fresh/ dried red rose petals

2 tbsp maple syrup
