Making The Syrup

Dissolve the sugar completely in the water in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
As the simple syrup warms up, add the rose petals and bring it to a boil. This is normal. Your syrup will likely turn crimson or red.
Remove the syrup from the flame after it has reduced and boiled for 1 to 2 minutes.
Allow the syrup to infuse for approximately ten minutes.
You can keep the syrup in an air-tight container for up to 2 weeks after the rose petals have been strained out.

To Brew The Coffee

Get your espresso ready. We have talked about how to make espresso before; you can read our brew guides.
Boil your milk. Either a steam wand or a cooktop with gentle whisking can be used to reach 150 degrees.
To flavor, add a few tablespoons of your homemade rose syrup to the bottom of your teacup or glass.
Add the milk and froth it with the syrup to create a pink and creamy foam.
Add espresso, stir gently, and decorate with additional rose petals. Don’t forget to take a picture. Enjoy!
