Let’s make it!

What You’ll Need:

1 shot (about 1 oz) of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1 cup milk (any kind—dairy or plant-based)
1 tablespoon rose syrup (store-bought or homemade)
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)

Pro Tips:

For the best froth, use whole milk or barista-style plant milk like oat or almond.
Freshly brewed espresso is ideal, but strong coffee will work too!
Don’t overdo the rose—it’s delicate and a little goes a long way!

Tools You’ll Need:

Espresso machine or coffee maker
Small saucepan or microwave (to heat the milk)
Milk frother or whisk
Mug for serving

Substitutions & Variations:

No rose syrup? Make your own by simmering 1/2 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water, and 1 tablespoon rose water until slightly thickened.
Prefer an iced version? Skip the frothing and pour everything over ice!
Add a cinnamon stick for stirring to make it extra cozy.

Make Ahead Tips:

You can make the rose syrup ahead of time and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
