Here's what you'll need to make this hibiscus honey latte:
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp dried hibiscus flowers
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup milk
- 2 shots of espresso or 1 cup of strong coffee
- 1 tbsp honey
- Whipped cream and edible flowers for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Brew the hibiscus tea: In a small pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat and add 2 tbsp of dried hibiscus flowers. Let the flowers steep for 5 minutes, then strain the tea and set it aside.
- Prepare the latte: If you don't have an espresso machine with a milk steamer: in a separate pot, heat 1 cup of milk over medium heat until it starts to steam. Froth the milk using a milk frother or whisk until it's light and airy. Combine the frothed milk with the hibiscus tea and 2 shots of espresso or 1 cup of strong coffee.

- Garnish and serve: If desired, top the latte with whipped cream and edible flowers for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy immediately while it's still warm!
