Notes

Tips

  • Quality Coffee: Use high-quality coffee or espresso for the best base flavor. A rich, strong coffee pairs well with the delicate rose flavor.
  • Proper Milk Frothing: Froth the milk until it’s smooth and creamy. If you don’t have a frother, you can heat the milk and whisk it vigorously to create froth.
  • Temperature Control: Ensure the coffee and milk are at the right temperature. The coffee should be hot but not boiling, and the milk should be warm and frothy.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Customize the sweetness by adjusting the amount of rose simple syrup according to your taste. You can also add a touch of maple syrup if you desire more sweetness. 
  • Garnish: Add a touch of elegance by garnishing the latte with a few dried rose petals on top.
  • Experiment with Milk: Try different types of milk, such as almond, oat, or soy, to find the one that complements the rose flavor best for you.
  • Serve Immediately: Enjoy your rose latte immediately after preparation to experience the best flavor and texture.
  • Combine Flavors: Experiment with adding a hint of vanilla or cardamom to enhance the floral notes of the rose.

Storage

  • Store the rose simple syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for up to 2 weeks.
