A cozy and indulgent latte featuring steamed milk infused with beetroot powder, espresso, and a touch of sweetness, topped with luxurious foam art. Perfect for brightening up mornings or impressing guests with a stunning pink drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots espresso or about 60 ml (2 fl oz) strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole milk recommended, almond or oat milk as alternatives)
  • 1 teaspoon beetroot powder (organic, fine-ground)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener of choice (maple syrup, honey, simple syrup, or agave)
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon or cardamom

Instructions

  1. Brew two shots of espresso (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) or 1/2 cup (120 ml) very strong brewed coffee and set aside.
  2. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk into a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until steaming but not boiling (around 150°F / 65°C), about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Whisk in 1 teaspoon beetroot powder and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract into the warm milk until fully dissolved and the milk turns pink.
  4. Stir in 1-2 teaspoons of your preferred sweetener and adjust sweetness to taste.
  5. Froth the pink milk using a steam wand or handheld frother until it doubles in volume and is creamy, about 30-60 seconds.
  6. Pour the espresso into a latte cup, slowly add the frothed pink milk holding back the foam with a spoon, then spoon the foam on top.
  7. Create simple foam art by swirling the pitcher gently as you pour to form shapes like hearts or leaves.

Notes

Keep milk temperature between 140°F and 150°F (60-65°C) to avoid scalding and ensure good foam. Use fresh beetroot powder to avoid bitterness. If beetroot powder clumps, sprinkle through a fine mesh sieve. For dairy-free, use oat or almond milk. Foam art takes practice; start with simple shapes.
