Tips for making the perfect honey rose matcha latte:

• Rose tea

  • Use organic edible, dried rose petals for the best flavor.

  • If you don't have access to organic, dried rose petals, you can use a store-bought rose tea bag in a pinch.

    • However, it's important to be mindful of the tea bag material to ensure you're brewing a safe and healthy beverage. Be sure to steer clear of tea bags made with plastic. The high heat of the boiling water can cause the plastic to leach into your tea, potentially introducing harmful chemicals into your drink.

  • Steep the rose petals in boiling water for 5-8 minutes to extract the delicate floral notes.

  • Be sure not to pour boiling water directly onto the matcha powder, as this can burn and ruin the flavor.

• Sweetener

  • I recommend using Manuka honey for its subtle floral notes that pair beautifully with the rose tea.

  • Raw, local honey is also a great option.

  • The recipe calls for 1-2 tsp of honey, but you can adjust the sweetness to your personal preference.

• Dairy -Free Milk

  • My personal favorite is the Joi Cashew Milk Base, which you can easily make by blending 8 oz of water with 1 Tbsp of the cashew base.

  • However, any dairy-free milk will work well in this recipe.

  • Keep in mind that the flavor of the milk you choose can impact the overall taste of the latte.

• Matcha Powder

  • Using a high-quality, ceremonial grade matcha powder is essential for the best flavor.

  • Lower-quality matcha can taste bitter and unpleasant, which will negatively affect your latte.

  • Two of my favorite matcha brands are Encha and Pique.
