As the days grow longer and the flowers start to bloom, our tastes begin to shift towards lighter, more aromatic flavours. This spring, why not elevate your morning routine with a delightful twist on the beloved cappuccino? Introducing the Rose Cappuccino – a fragrant version of the classic coffee that’s sure to add a touch of elegance to your day.
What You’ll Need:
- A double shot of espresso
- Steamed milk
- 1/2 teaspoon of rose water (adjust according to taste)
- Dried rose petals for garnish
The Preparation:
- Start with the Espresso: Prepare your espresso as you normally would. The rich, bold flavour of the espresso forms the perfect base for our floral twist.
- Add the Rose Water: Once your espresso is ready, stir in the rose water. Start with a 1/2 teaspoon and adjust according to your preference. The rose water not only adds a subtle floral note but also infuses the coffee with a refreshing spring vibe.
- Froth the Milk: Steam your milk to perfection, ensuring it’s warm and frothy but not too bubbly. The aim is to achieve a smooth, creamy texture that blends seamlessly with the espresso and rose water mixture.
- Combine and Create: Pour the frothed milk into your cup of espresso and rose water. If you’re skilled in the art of foam, now’s your chance to create your preferred cappuccino foam art on top.
- Garnish with Rose Petals: For the final touch, sprinkle a few dried rose petals over your cappuccino. Not only do they add to the aesthetic appeal, but they subtly enhance the coffee’s floral notes.
