This Rose Latte is a gateway drink because do you know what parenting milestone nobody ever talks about??? When your children outgrow the kids’ drinks at Starbucks. We used to make going for coffee a cheap outing that would entertain the kidlets for a little while and fill them with raspberry steamed milk piled high with creamy whipped cream. And now? Now a quick coffee run costs roughly the same as a mortgage payment.

I mean, we still go… just not daily like maybe we did before please don’t tell my husband we did that.

This is a darn good copy of the Blossoming Rose Latte that my girls love. Dare I say that it’s maaaaaybe even better (I still love you Starbucks!).

Anything special you need to know about this Rose Latte?

*You can use any type of milk you like. I usually use dairy, but second choice would be coconut. Use light, drinkable coconut milk though, the full fat canned stuff would be too thick.

*Rosewater is strong. I use a teaspoon here and I recommend you start with that and adjust to your taste. You want a lovely, subtle floral taste. You don’t want to feel like you’re drinking your grandma’s powder room soap.

*I did a little research and was pleasantly surprised to learn that Rosewater apparently has some pretty great health benefits too. Who knew? I loved this little article.
