Ingredients
Beet Latte:
- 8 ounces water
- 1 tablespoon black tea Or use plain black tea, rose-scented, 3 teabags
- 1 tablespoon rosebud plus more for optional garnish, food-grade, optional
- 3 ounces milk dairy or nut
- ½ tablespoon beetroot powder plus more for optional garnish
- 1 teaspoon sugar Use more or less as desired, or agave syrup, honey or sweetener of choice
Whipped Topping (optional):
- 2 ounces heavy cream or coconut cream
- 1 teaspoon sugar optional
Instructions
Beet Latte
- Heat water until it just begins to boil (~210°F).Add black tea and rosebuds (if using) to an infuser teapot. Alternatively, add ingredients to a large tea ball and place in a regular teapot or covered tea mug.Pour the hot water over the tea and rosebuds. Let steep for up to 5 minutes.
- Add the milk to a small container (such as a mixing bowl or measuring cup).Use a mesh sieve to sift beetroot powder into a small bowl, and then mix into the milk. (Sifting the powder will help keep it from clumping.)
- Add the sweetener to the milk mixture. Use milk frother to whip until foamy.
- Pour tea into a mug or cup. (If you steeped your tea in a mug, remove the tea ball now.)Add the frothed milk to the tea.

Whipped Topping
- If desired, add cream (or coconut cream) and sugar in a chilled glass bowl, and use the milk frother (or an electric hand mixer) to whip into stiff peaks. Spoon whipped cream onto latte and (optionally) garnish with a dusting of beet powder or a pinch of rosebuds.Optionally, make the whipped cream up to 2 days ahead of time and chill in the fridge until ready to use.

- Nutrition information does not include rosebuds (since they are not consumed) or optional whipped toppings.
