Cinnamon Rose Latte

Whether you’re enjoying a slow morning or need a little pick-me-up, this latte will make you feel like royalty.

Let’s make it!

What You’ll Need:

• 1 shot (about 1 oz) of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
• 1 cup milk (any kind—dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tablespoon rose syrup (store-bought or homemade)
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)

Pro Tips:

1. For the best froth, use whole milk or barista-style plant milk like oat or almond.
2. Freshly brewed espresso is ideal, but strong coffee will work too!
3. Don’t overdo the rose—it’s delicate and a little goes a long way!

Tools You’ll Need:

• Espresso machine or coffee maker
• Small saucepan or microwave (to heat the milk)
• Milk frother or whisk
• Mug for serving

Substitutions & Variations:

• No rose syrup? Make your own by simmering 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tablespoon rose water until slightly thickened.
• Prefer an iced version? Skip the frothing and pour everything over ice!
• Add a cinnamon stick for stirring to make it extra cozy.

Make Ahead Tips:

You can make the rose syrup ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
