How to make a Blossoming Rose Tea Latte:

Bring water to a boil in a small pot on the stove.

Add one rooibos tea teabag and let it steep.

Take the teabag out.

Add the rest of the ingredients. Vanilla extract, maple syrup, rose water, and plant-based milk.

Bring back to a soft boil and simmer for 1 minute.

Take off heat and froth with a handheld frother if desired.

Enjoy!

I've been using a small handheld frother and it works like magic! It makes it SO creamy! I used ½ cup of milk with 1 cup of water here. If you want the latte to be super creamy, I wouldn't use less than ½ cup of milk as that'd make it harder to froth.

Adjust the water to milk ratio based on your preference. You can also use only milk instead of the water and make it really thick and creamy (think hot chocolate creamy). Hope you like it!

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a small pot bring the water to a boil.
Turn the heat off, add the Rooibos tea bag and let steep for 5-7 mins.
Take the teabag out, add the vanilla extract, maple syrup, rose water, plant-based milk, and stir.
Bring back to a boil, let it cook for 1-2 mins, then take off the heat.
Using a handheld frother, froth the latte right in the pot for a few seconds or according to the instruction by the manufacturer.
Pour into a mug, dust with cinnamon if desired, and enjoy!

Notes

This latte is great even if you don't own a frother, it just adds a nice fancy foam on top. My frother was just $10 and I use it every day - definitely a purchase I'd recommend.
