Ingredients

For the rose simple syrup (makes 4-6 servings):

4 ounces water (may need to add more if water evaporates)
2 tablespoons edible rosebuds (about 8 grams)
½ cup sugar (about 100 grams)

For the rose latte:

2 ounces espresso
8 ounces whole milk (or any milk of choice)
½ - 1 ounce homemade rose simple syrup (to taste)
Edible rose petals for garnish (optional)

Instructions

The simple syrup can be made up to 1 month in advance and stored in an airtight container in the fridge. To make it, heat water, rose buds, and sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat, and allow to steep for 10-15 minutes, then strain away rose buds before using.
4 ounces water, 2 tablespoons edible rosebuds , ½ cup sugar
Pour espresso into your mug of choice, followed by the rose simple syrup.
2 ounces espresso, ½ - 1 ounce homemade rose simple syrup
Top with frothed, steamed milk, and garnish with edible rose petals. Enjoy!
8 ounces whole milk, Edible rose petals for garnish (optional)

Notes

Don't boil the simple syrup. Gently simmer the syrup over medium heat. Boiling can damage the rose petals, and make your simple syrup bitter.

Strain away all the rosebud pieces. Ensure you strain the syrup thoroughly to remove all the rose buds, you can use a mesh strainer or even a cheesecloth to make sure there are no bits of roses left over.

Sweeten to taste. It's better to add a little syrup at a time to your drink so you can adjust later to suit your preference, especially if making this drink for the first time.
