Prep These Ingredients

2 tablespoons beetroot powder
1 tablespoon warm water
3 teaspoons maple syrup
2 teaspoons rose water
½ cup unsweetened plant-based milk (such as almond, oat, or coconut)
¾ cup soy milk (or any plant-based milk that froths well)

Optional toppings: cocoa nibs, dried rose petals for decoration.

What Makes This Latte Special?

The combination of beetroot and rose is unique, giving this latte a vibrant pink hue and a delicate floral aroma. Plus, the natural sweetness from maple syrup keeps it refined sugar-free, while using plant-based milk makes it suitable for a variety of diets. It’s a drink that feels indulgent but is still nourishing.

How to Make Beetroot Rose Latte

Step 1: Prepare the Beetroot Mixture

In a small saucepan, combine 2 tablespoons of beetroot powder with 1 tablespoon of warm water, 3 teaspoons of maple syrup, and 2 teaspoons of rose water. Whisk the mixture until the beetroot powder dissolves fully. This step ensures there are no clumps of powder in your latte.

Step 2: Heat the Plant-Based Milk

Add ½ cup of unsweetened plant-based milk (your choice) to the saucepan. Stir the beetroot milk mixture over medium heat until it’s heated through but not boiling. Keep stirring regularly to prevent the milk from burning at the bottom of the pan.

Step 3: Froth the Soy Milk

While the beet milk is warming, froth ¾ cup of soy milk using a milk frother or hand frother. If you don’t have a frother, you can warm the soy milk in a microwave and then whisk it vigorously until it becomes foamy.

Tip: Soy milk is ideal for frothing because of its creamy texture, but oat milk or almond milk works well too. Just make sure you’re using a variety that foams!

Step 4: Assemble the Latte

Pour the warmed beetroot milk into your favorite tall mug. Gently top it with the frothed soy milk, letting the foam layer sit beautifully on top.

Step 5: Add the Finishing Touches

To make your Beetroot Rose Latte truly special, sprinkle a few cocoa nibs or dried rose petals on top. These optional toppings not only add a decorative touch but also complement the drink’s earthy and floral flavors.

Tips for Success

Beetroot Powder: Be sure to use high-quality beetroot powder for the best color and flavor. Lower-quality powders can result in a dull color and a more earthy taste.
Milk Choice: The key to achieving a rich and creamy texture is using plant-based milk that froths well, such as soy or oat milk. If you’re using a non-frothing milk, you can skip the frothing step and simply add the milk to the latte.
Rose Water: Go easy on the rose water—it’s potent. You don’t want it to overpower the other flavors, so stick to the recommended amount.

Customization Ideas

This latte is versatile and can be adapted to your taste preferences:

Make it Iced: For a refreshing alternative, skip the heating step and serve the beetroot milk over ice. Top it with cold, frothed plant-based milk for a chilled version of this floral latte.
Sweeten it Your Way: Feel free to swap out maple syrup for honey, agave, or even a touch of vanilla extract if you prefer a different sweetener.
Add a Spice: Enhance the warmth of the latte by adding a pinch of cinnamon or cardamom to the beet mixture. It pairs beautifully with the rose flavor.

Storage and Reheating

If you have any leftover beetroot mixture, you can store it in the fridge for up to 2 days. Simply reheat it on the stove before adding your frothed milk. However, for the best frothy experience, prepare the milk fresh each time.

With its vibrant color and unique flavor profile, this Beetroot Rose Latte is sure to brighten up your day. Whether you’re sipping it as a calming afternoon treat or serving it as a show-stopping drink to guests, it’s a recipe that’s easy to love.

Enjoy your cozy latte moment! 🌸
