Cardamom Rose Latte
A fragrant and indulgent Middle Eastern-inspired latte with cardamom and rose
Welcome to a world of aromatic bliss with our Cardamom Rose Latte! This enchanting beverage draws inspiration from the rich coffee traditions of the Middle East, where cardamom-spiced coffee has been savored for centuries. The addition of delicate rose flavor elevates this latte to new heights of sensory pleasure.
Our recipe combines freshly brewed espresso with steamed milk infused with ground cardamom and a touch of rose water. The result is a harmonious blend of bold coffee, warm spices, and floral notes that dance on your palate. We recommend using a medium-dark roast coffee with chocolatey undertones to complement the cardamom and rose. For the best flavor, grind your beans just before brewing and use a quality espresso machine or stovetop moka pot.
