Picture Perfect Lattes
Spring is here and it’s time to add some fresh, new options to your coffee shop menu.
This season's key trend is floral lattes. These coffee or tea lattes are not only beautifully drinkable, they’re extremely instagrammable.
You have a few options to make floral lattes, using extracts, syrups or real flowers. We recommend using syrups to ensure consistency when making them in a commercial setting.
Popular flavours are hibiscus, lavender and rose. Try experimenting with dairy and non-dairy milks for the perfect combination.
Plus, besides tasting and looking great, sometimes floral lattes have more nutritional value, when using real flowers.
