Ingredients
Rose Cardamom Syrup
- 1 cup white sugar 200 grams
- 1 cup water 250ml

- 2 tbsp rose water
Rose Cardamom Sprinkles
- 1 cup white sugar 200 grams
- 1/2 cup dried rose petals 10 grams
- 1 tbsp ground cardamom
Rose Cardamom Tea Latte
- 6 oz steeped hot black tea (rooibos is a good caffeine-free alternative)
- 1 oz Rose Cardamom syrup (recipe above)
- 6 oz steamed milk any milk of your choice
- 1 sprinkle Rose Cardamom Sprinkles
Instructions
Rose Cardamom Syrup
- Break up the cardamom pods (I crush them using the bottom of the pot), and then combine the pods, sugar and water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil.
- Gently simmer on the stove for about 30 minutes.
- Remove from the heat, strain out the cardamom, and stir in the rose water.
Rose Cardamom Sprinkles
- Add the sugar, dried rose petals and ground cardamom (or whole seeds) to either a spice grinder, coffee grinder, or mortar and pestle.
- Gently pulse or grind until everything is combined.
Rose Cardamom Tea Latte
- Add rose cardamom syrup to a mug. Add the teabag and hot water until the cup is half full. Let steep 4 minutes.
- As the tea is steeping, heat your milk up. You can use a microwave, steam wand on your espresso machine, or one of these fancy milk frothers.
- When the tea is finished steeping, add the milk and top with your rose cardamom sprinkles.
