The Hibiscus Rose Latte brings together espresso, hibiscus, and rose in a beautifully balanced iced beverage. Made with our Ethiopia Sidama coffee, whole milk, and a house-made floral syrup, it’s shaken for a smooth texture and topped with airy cold foam. Garnished with crushed dried rose petals on the rim, it’s an elegant, fragrant beverage designed to be recreated at home.
Directions:
Begin by brewing two shots of espresso using a bright, fruit-forward coffee such as the Caffeinatrix® Ethiopia Sidama. Its subtle fruity floral profile and tea-like qualities complement this latte's botanicals.
In a shaker, combine one ounce of hibiscus rose simple syrup with eight ounces of whole milk. Add a small scoop of ice, then shake well. This step chills your latte while creating a light, smooth texture that blends the flavors evenly.
Fill a glass with fresh ice and strain the shaken mixture over it. The result should be a soft blush-toned base.
Gently pour the freshly brewed espresso over the milk mixture. Allow it to settle naturally to create a subtle layered effect before serving.
To prepare the cold foam, combine three tablespoons of milk, two tablespoons of heavy cream, and one tablespoon of hibiscus rose syrup. Froth until the mixture becomes light and airy, then spoon it carefully over your latte.
For a final touch, lightly press crushed dried rose petals along one side of the rim of your glass. This adds a delicate fragrance that enhances the overall experience.
Next Step... enjoy!
