Latte Recipes

These recipes offer a fun way to add a little colour to your day.

Rose and Beet Latte

• ½ cup hot water

• 2 tsp beetroot powder

• 1 tsp ground ginger

• 1 tsp edible rose petals

• 2 tsp honey or maple syrup

• 1 generous tsp coconut oil

• ½ cup steamed milk (whole or dairy-free)

Add beetroot powder, ground ginger, and rose petals to a tea leaf strainer*. Pop in your cup. Pour hot water into a cup.  Add honey to cup mixture and stir well.  Fill a jug with hot milk and spoon in coconut oil. Use a frother, blender, or mad whisking skills to cream a nice froth. Pour 3/4 milk mixture into beetroot mixture. Stir well. Top with remaining froth and enjoy!

Matcha Latte

• 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha powder

• 1 tablespoon hot water

• 2 teaspoons honey, or to taste

• 3/4 cup hot milk

Place the matcha powder into a mug. Add the water and stir until no lumps remain and a paste is formed. Stir in the honey. Add the milk and enjoy!

Mermaid Latte

• 1 cup unsweetened milk

• ¼ tsp spirulina or E3live

• ¼ tsp ashwagandha (optional)

• ⅓ tsp ground ginger

• juices of half a lemon

• 1 tsp raw organic honey or maple syrup

• 1 tsp coconut oil

Pour the milk into a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Whisk all the ingredients – except honey, if you’re using it. Heat on a low heat for about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan, let cool slightly and add the sweetener. Enjoy warm!

You can also warm the milk and then pour all the ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth and frothy.

Lavender Steamed Milk

• 2 cups milk

• 3⁄4 teaspoon dried lavender

• 4 teaspoons honey

• 1⁄4 teaspoon almond extract
