You'll need
Sifter, small bowl, bamboo whisk, milk frother, serving glass

Ingredients

Method

  1. Make the matcha base. Sift matcha into a bowl to remove clumps. Add hot water and whisk until smooth and frothy. Stir in sweetener to taste, then add milk. Mix until fully combined. Pour over ice for a chilled latte or keep warm for a cozy version. Set aside.

  2. Make the rose cream. In a small bowl or frother, combine heavy cream, milk, and rose syrup. For natural color, whisk in beetroot or pitaya powder slowly until you reach a soft blush tone. Start with a small pinch and adjust as needed. Froth until light, airy, and spoonable.

  3. Layer and serve. Gently pour the rose cream over the matcha base so it floats on top in a layered effect. Finish with dried rose petals if desired.

Why rose and matcha work

Pouring pink rose cream over a green matcha latte in a clear glass

Rose and matcha might not be the first combination you think of for a latte, but they actually work surprisingly well together. Matcha has a slightly earthy, umami taste, while rose adds soft, floral notes. The layered cream balances everything and provides a nice contrast in texture and flavor.

Tips for best results

  • Use beetroot powder instead of food dye. Beetroot gives you a natural blush color without changing the flavor as long as you use it sparingly. You can find beetroot powder online or at many health food stores.
  • Don’t overdo it on the rose syrup. Rose is a strong flavor, and too much can overwhelm the matcha. Start small and then taste.
  • Use high-quality matcha. Good matcha will give you a smoother latte and prevent bitterness.
  • The cream layer should be light enough to float but still rich enough to slowly blend as you drink.
