Rosemary-Mint Latte
My newest, and currently favorite, latte invention is a rosemary-mint latte. The ingredients are simple, probably already in your home and very inexpensive if they’re not. The rosemary-mint syrup is quick to make and will last a solid week or two (depending on how addicted to coffee you are).
Below is a photo of everything you’ll need + whatever “creamer” you use–whether that be skim milk, whole milk, coconut milk, packaged creamer, soy, whatever. I omitted that from the photo since that’s generally very specific to whoever’s making the latte!

I think the combination of mint and rosemary sounds so refreshing and unique.
It definitely is! And if rosemary seems a little too out there, omitting it and just doing mint is easily an option, too!
Wow, that sounds great! And easy, which is nice too 🙂 Thanks for sharing it!
oh, this sounds so yummy! I love rosemary! I have some growing in the backyard, I’m going to do this tomorrow morning!
Yes! Tell me what you think afterward!
Interesting! I would have never thought up that combination for a latte. I think I’ll start with mint and then go from there…I’ve only used rosemary for savory things, so I’m a little scared. 😉
Completely understandable! The Rosemary isn’t too overwhelming, though, if you do decide to make the jump!
Ooooo this latte sounds pretty tasty!!! I just love Rosemary!
I do too! Especially with mint. It’s one of my favorite combos.
