Ingredients

    blank

    • 1 teaspoon latte matcha powder

    • 1 tablespoon Rose Hibiscus Concentrate

    • Edible Rose Petals (for garnish)

    • Ice Cubes (large and small)

    • 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond or oat milk)

    blank

    • Cocktail Shaker or Wide Mouth Water Bottle (for mixing the matcha and ice)

    Directions

    1. In a small bowl or matcha shaker, add 1 teaspoon of matcha powder. Gradually pour 1/4 cup of hot (not boiling) water over the matcha.

    2. Use a bamboo matcha whisk or a small whisk to vigorously whisk the mixture until it becomes frothy and well combined. Set aside.

    3. Fill a wide mouth water bottle or cocktail shaker halfway with ice cubes.

    4. Pour the milk over the ice and shake it gently to chill the milk thoroughly. This step helps create a lusciously cold and frothy latte.

    5. Add 1 tablespoon of Rose Hibiscus Concentrate to the chilled milk in the water bottle or cocktail shaker.

    6. Close the lid securely and shake well until the concentrate and milk are thoroughly mixed.

    7. In a glass filled with ice cubes, pour the rose-infused milk mixture halfway. Then, gently pour the frothy matcha over the milk layer.

    8. Sprinkle some edible rose petals on top of the latte for an enchanting finishing touch. The delicate rose petals not only add a pop of color but also infuse the beverage with an enticing aroma.

    9. Your Rose Matcha Latte is now ready to be enjoyed! Take a moment to relish the floral aroma, the creamy texture of the milk, and the earthy taste of matcha with every sip.

    Natural Sweeteners

    Instead of using processed sweeteners, opt for natural alternatives like honey or maple syrup to add sweetness. These natural sweeteners enhance the floral notes of the rose hibiscus concentrate and complement the earthy matcha flavor, creating a well-balanced and healthier latte.

    Whipped Cream Topping

    Iced Latte Variation

    For a refreshing iced latte, pour the rose-infused milk and matcha over a glass filled with ice cubes. The chill of the iced latte is perfect for hot days or as a delightful pick-me-up any time of the year.
