Sakura latte

 🍒 Sakura latte is a sweet and creamy warm drink that blends milk with cherry blossom powder. The drink recipe is sweetened with honey and topped with fluffy whipped cream. The dreamy pink latte is a romantic spring beverage and will delight your taste buds! Sakura powder infuses the latte with an elegant floral flavor and soft pink color. The powder is made from freeze-dried cherry blossom and cherry leaf paste.

Ingredients 

Milk: I love whole milk because it makes your Sakura milk tea rich and creamy. However, feel free to make the easy latte recipe with any milk you like. 2%, non-fat, and dairy-free milk will work well.

Honey sweetens the latte, and clear honey is best. Alternatively, substitute maple syrup.

Heavy cream (optional) is the key to making the foamy latte topping. Cream froths up nicely and creates a silky texture

Recipe 

🌎 Step 1: Warm milk

Pour the milk into a small saucepan and add the Sakura powder.

Cook over medium-high heat on the stovetop until the milk is warm and begins to steam, for about 5 to 7 minutes. Whisk constantly to dissolve the Sakura powder into the liquid.

At this point, taste the milk. Feel free to include another tablespoon of Sakura powder if you desire a stronger flavor

🌎 Step 2: Add sweetener

Take the milk off the stovetop and stir in the honey or other sweetener of your choice.

I recommend starting with 1 tablespoon of honey and adding another spoonful if desired.

🌎 Step 3: Whip cream

Place the cream into a small, cold bowl.

Whip the cream with a milk frother or small whisk until the texture becomes frothy and foamy. The goal isn’t to beat the cream until peaks form but instead to fluffy it up a bit.

🌎 Step 4: Assemble

Pour the warm cherry blossom milk into a cup or mug.

Using a large tablespoon, gently spoon the foamy heavy cream over the milk.

To garnish your drink, sprinkle dried Sakura powder on top.
