I was inspired by my sister’s latte syrups. So, like any good little sister, I decided to make some too. 🙂 I happened to have some left over rosemary in my refrigerator and so I decided to try a rosemary latte. I had never had one before but I love the smell and taste of rosemary. I have been obsessed with making homemade lattes after getting an espresso maker
for Christmas.
First I made a rosemary and honey syrup.
1 cup water
1/2 cup honey
2 sprigs of fresh rosemary.
Bring the water and honey to a boil while stirring to dissolve the honey. Turn the heat down to a simmer and add the rosemary sprigs. Let this cook down for 10-12 minutes until the mixture has thicken some. Remove from heat and allow to cool before use.I still have a ways to go with my latte making skills. But I must say that a rosemary latte is my new favorite! I love how the syrup turned out the perfect amount of sweet and savory without being too overpowering. I store my syrup in the refrigerator and will probably use most of it up within two weeks. Oh, and do you see how there is a rosemary sprig in the bottle? I just added that for aesthetics. It’s not really necessary, so if you create this at home feel free to leave it out if you wish. Happy morning coffee! xo. Emma

I never even realized you could make a latte from home without a fancy machine-trying this out asap, thanks!

Liz- absolutely!
These syrups are perfect for any tea of coffee drink or even a lot of cocktails. :))
Would this taste ok just in regular coffee for those of us without an espresso machine?
This is actually surprisingly delicious. The rosemary and honey flavors are subtle and compliment the espresso. I don’t have an espresso machine so I made a Turkish latte instead. Thanks for the constant inspiration!
Thank you so much for this recipe! Look, I was seriously wishfully imaginging it: http://jessieammons.blogspot.com/2013/01/lavendaah-lievendur.html

Rosemary syrup is also wonderful in fresh lemonade!
I need to try to make my own syrup. I have some mint in the fridge that is starting to look a bit sad. I think it would be awesome to mix mint syrup with hot chocolate.
Yummy! That looks so good, I’ve gotta try this!
I loved it!!! The taste is just perfect.. Drinking rosemary coffee and blogging about it as we speak!
Love,

Happy Birthday, Emma! Hope it’s a great one 🙂
This syrup would be amazing on goats cheese! Give it a go, I promise you it will be a taste sensation. x
I don’t even like coffee, but I’m considering giving this a try!
