Method

01

Make the cardamom rose syrup

In a small saucepan, combine the water, rose petals, cardamom, and honey (or sugar). Simmer, stirring, until the sweetener dissolves, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the heat, cover, and let steep 20 to 30 minutes. Strain into a jar and refrigerate.

02

Brew and froth the milk

Pull 1 to 2 shots of espresso or brew 4 to 6 ounces of strong coffee. Steam or froth the milk of your choice until warm and airy.

03

Stir together and serve

Add the espresso or coffee to a mug (or a glass with ice for iced). Stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cardamom rose syrup, then pour in the milk and stir to combine. Enjoy.
