I was inspired by my sister's latte syrups. So, like any good little sister, I decided to make some too. :) I happened to have some left over rosemary in my refrigerator and so I decided to try a rosemary latte. I had never had one before but I love the smell and taste of rosemary. I have been obsessed with making homemade lattes after getting an espresso maker
for Christmas.
First I made a rosemary and honey syrup.
1 cup water
1/2 cup honey
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Bring the water and honey to a boil while stirring to dissolve the honey. Turn the heat down to a simmer and add the rosemary sprigs. Let this cook down for 10-12 minutes until the mixture has thicken some. Remove from heat and allow to cool before use.I still have a ways to go with my latte making skills. But I must say that a rosemary latte is my new favorite! I love how the syrup turned out the perfect amount of sweet and savory without being too overpowering. I store my syrup in the refrigerator and will probably use most of it up within two weeks. Oh, and do you see how there is a rosemary sprig in the bottle? I just added that for aesthetics. It's not really necessary, so if you create this at home feel free to leave it out if you wish. Happy morning coffee! xo. Emma




Sounds interesting, different but yummy! Definitely going to give this one a go.

I'm not a big coffee drinker (actually none at all, hate the smell and the taste), but I can picture the honey-rosemary-taste in my hot milk. I'll definitely give it a try soon.
btw: Hello from Germany. :o)

This is one latte i haven't tried before and was a little hesitant when it involved rosemary but it does kinda work. Thanks for yet another great latte idea!

I've had an espresso machine for 3 weeks now and I'm crazy about it. I definitely want to try making my own coffee syrups. I would have never thought of rosemary and honey. Thanks for sharing Emma!
