A bunch of roses brings color into your home, but what if I told you that I also use rose petals in cooking?
Roses are packed with healthy substances such as vitamin C and the leaves are completely edible. Roses are extremely healthy, but at the moment these medicinal properties are not really known in our country. Time to change that. :-)
In addition to the health benefits, the leaves also give a delicious taste to tea, the sweet aroma goes well with rooibos, matcha , cinnamon and vanilla. For me this is the ultimate combination for colder days.
Even try one? With this recipe you can put a delicious rooibos matcha latte on the table in 5 minutes.

Rooibos matcha latte recipe
Requirements (for 2 bags)
- 2 bags of rooibos tea, or 2 to 3 tablespoons of loose leaf tea
- 300 ml oat milk
- A pinch of cinnamon
- 1 vanilla pod
- 1/2 tsp matcha
- 300 ml of boiling water
- Honey
Preparation
- Bring the water to a boil.
- Hang the tea bags in a measuring cup, add the rose petals/buds, the matcha powder and pour the water over it.
- Let steep for about 5 minutes.
- Add vanilla and stir well.
- While you wait, froth the oat milk.
- After 5 minutes, hang a tea filter over a cup and pour the liquid into it.
- Add some cinnamon.
- Pour the oat milk into the bag.
- Add some honey to taste.
- To finish it off, sprinkle a few flower petals or buds over the milk.
A few more tips and tricks
- You can dry the rose petals and buds naturally yourself or buy them already dried in natural stores. Make sure that they have not been sprayed, because you obviously do not want any chemical junk in your cup. It is therefore best to choose organic leaves.
- Rooibos is not actually tea, because it does not come from the tea plant. Rooibos also contains no caffeine and therefore you can certainly drink this spicy infusion in the evening before going to sleep. Bet you sleep like a rose?
- Do not let the leaves and the rooibos steep for longer than 5 minutes, otherwise it will be too strong. A rooibos latte with rose petals should be soft and sweet in taste.
