Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 3-4 sprigs fresh rosemary
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 1/8 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 shots espresso
  • 6-8 oz oat milk

Method
 

  1. Bruise the rosemary sprigs by twisting them between your palms to release the aromatic oils.
  2. Combine sugar, water, and bruised rosemary in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
  3. Simmer for 3 to 5 minutes, then remove from the heat.
  4. Whisk in the vanilla bean paste and sea salt.
  5. Allow the rosemary to steep in the syrup for 30 minutes before straining into a glass bottle.
  6. Prepare two shots of espresso into a mug.
  7. Froth the oat milk until creamy and pour over the espresso.
  8. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons of the vanilla rosemary syrup to taste and stir gently before serving.

Notes

The simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks and is also excellent in iced tea or drizzled over cakes. For the best froth, ensure your milk is cold before steaming.
