Introduction

The Hibiscus Rose Latte is a delightful blend that captures the essence of both summer and fall. Its vibrant pink hue and floral notes evoke sunny days, while warm spices like cinnamon and ginger bring cozy autumn vibes. This caffeine-free drink is perfect for anyone seeking a comforting and fragrant alternative to traditional lattes.

A clear glass filled with a two-layer drink sits on a white marbled surface, with the bottom layer a smooth, light pink liquid and the top layer white foam. Bright pink dried flower petals are sprinkled thickly on one half of the foam surface, with a few petals and small dried flower buds scattered around the glass on the white marbled surface. The glass itself is simple and rounded, capturing the soft colors of the drink inside. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

1 tbsp dried hibiscus petals
1/4 tsp cinnamon powder

10g fresh ginger, peeled and cut into cubes
4 dried small edible rose petals

2 drops rose water
2g beetroot powder

60ml boiling water
2 tsp agave syrup
300ml oat milk (hot and frothed) per two cups

25g hibiscus rose syrup per cup
2 dried roses crushed for decoration (optional, 1 per cup)

Instructions

Step 1: Boil 60ml of water and pour it over the hibiscus petals, cinnamon powder, ginger cubes, dried rose petals, rose water, and beetroot powder. Let the mixture steep for 15–20 minutes to extract the flavors.

Step 2: Strain the syrup into a container, discarding the solids. Stir in the agave syrup until dissolved. Adjust sweetness to your preference, or omit the agave syrup if you prefer it unsweetened.
Step 3: Warm and froth the oat milk (or any milk of choice) until hot and airy.
Step 4: Pour about 25g of the hibiscus rose syrup into each cup. Slowly add 150ml of the frothed milk on top.

Step 5: Garnish with crushed dried rose petals if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your comforting Hibiscus Rose Latte.

Tips & Variations

Use any milk you prefer, such as almond, soy, or cow’s milk; each will bring a slightly different texture and flavor.
If you don’t have beetroot powder, a small pinch of natural red food coloring can enhance the pink hue.

For a spicier kick, add a pinch of ground cloves or nutmeg to the syrup while steeping.
Dried rose petals are optional but add a lovely floral note and pretty garnish.

Storage

Store the hibiscus rose syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Reheat the syrup gently before combining with milk. The prepared latte is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to a day and reheated gently on the stove or in a microwave.
