Ingredients (Serves 1)
• 1 cup (240 ml) milk (dairy or plant-based, like oat or almond milk)
• 1 shot (30 ml) of espresso (or ¼ cup of strong brewed coffee)
• 1 tbsp rose syrup (adjust to taste)
• ½ tsp vanilla extract
• Pinch of ground cinnamon
• Optional topping: Whipped cream, dried edible rose petals, or a light sprinkle of cinnamon Instructions
1. Prepare the Espresso:
Brew a shot of espresso or make strong coffee and pour it into your favorite mug.
2. Heat the Milk:
In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling. Alternatively, froth the milk with a milk frother for a creamy texture.
3. Add the Flavors:
Stir the rose syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon into the milk. Mix until well combined.
4. Combine:
Pour the flavored milk over the espresso, holding back the froth with a spoon if needed. Gently spoon the froth on top to finish.
5. Garnish:
Optional but delightful—add whipped cream, sprinkle a few dried rose petals, or dust with a pinch of cinnamon for a festive touch.
6. Serve:
Sip and savor the luxurious flavors of this Christmas Rose Latte, perfect for the holiday season! Tip: If you don’t have rose syrup, make your own by mixing ½ cup sugar, ½ cup water, and 1 tbsp rosewater in a small saucepan. Heat until the sugar dissolves, then let it cool before use.
Enjoy the holiday magic in every sip! ❄️🌹☕
