Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup whole milk can substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option
  • 1 shot espresso freshly brewed
  • 1 tablespoon rose water make sure it is food-grade
  • 1 tablespoon honey or sugar to taste
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract for added flavor
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried edible rose petals for garnish
  • 1 pinch cardamom for a hint of spice
  • ice cubes optional, for an iced version

Instructions
 

  • Begin by brewing a shot of espresso using your preferred method, ensuring it is strong and fresh.
  • In a small saucepan, heat the whole milk over medium heat, stirring continuously until it begins to steam but does not boil.
  • Once the milk is heated, use a frother or whisk to froth it until it reaches a creamy texture and has a nice foam on top.
  • In a large cup, combine the brewed espresso, rose water, honey, vanilla extract, and cardamom. Stir well to mix all the flavors thoroughly.
  • Slowly pour the frothed milk into the espresso mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a layered effect.
  • Top the latte with the reserved foam and sprinkle the dried edible rose petals over the top for a beautiful presentation.
  • Serve immediately, enjoying the floral aroma as you sip this delightful drink.

Notes

Tip 1: For a more intense rose flavor, increase the amount of rose water slightly.
Tip 2: This latte can be made ahead of time; just reheat the milk before serving.
Variation: Try adding a splash of lavender syrup for an additional floral note.
