Recipe
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.
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.
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.
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.
If you’ve been looking to switch up your daily matcha latte and try something new, give this rose cream matcha latte a try. It’s the perfect way to romanticize your life and turn a random day into something special.
