The days when coffee was just a regular cup of joe with cream and sugar are long gone. Now, you can get lattes, cappuccinos, espressos, and any other number of coffee beverages instead, but of course, you can still order that regular cup of coffee as well.
Not only has coffee changed a whole lot from what it was in the old days, but tea has also changed as well. No longer are you stuck with plain old iced tea or a cup of hot tea? Now you have a ton of options for tea as well. Take the Rose Latte, for example. It’s not your average coffee or tea, for sure.
Instead, it’s a delicious, comforting drink that is perfect for any time of the day because it’s caffeine-free. Keep on reading for a recipe and how to make a coffee shop-quality Rose Latte in the comfort of your own home.
Is a Rose Latte Good for You?

When you prepare the drink, because of the rose petals, it will have anti-inflammatory properties and help to aid digestion as well. A Rose Latte is pink, gorgeous, delicious, and good for you. Go figure!
