A cozy and creamy latte featuring a natural pink velvet syrup made with beetroot powder, combined with frothy oat milk and strong brewed coffee for a comforting and visually stunning drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup (240 ml) strong brewed espresso or dark roast coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, preferably barista blend
  • 1 tablespoon beetroot powder
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or agave nectar
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • Additional maple syrup or sweetener of choice, to taste (optional)
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pink Velvet Syrup: In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon beetroot powder with 2 tablespoons hot water. Whisk until fully dissolved and smooth (about 1-2 minutes). Stir in 2 tablespoons maple syrup and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Set aside.
  2. Brew Your Coffee: Brew 1 cup (240 ml) of strong espresso or dark roast coffee using your preferred method. Pour it into your serving mug.
  3. Warm the Oat Milk: Pour 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk into a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Warm gently until steaming but not boiling (about 2-3 minutes) or microwave for 1-1.5 minutes.
  4. Froth the Oat Milk: Using a milk frother or whisk, froth the warm oat milk until it’s light and creamy with small bubbles (about 30 seconds).
  5. Combine: Stir the prepared pink velvet syrup into the brewed coffee until well mixed.
  6. Assemble Your Latte: Pour the frothed oat milk over the coffee and syrup mixture. Use a spoon to hold back the foam, then spoon the foam on top.
  7. Garnish & Serve: Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg on top. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

Do not boil oat milk to avoid curdling. Froth chilled oat milk for better foam. Stir syrup well into coffee before adding milk to maintain vibrant pink color. Syrup can be prepared ahead and stored refrigerated for up to a week. For iced version, chill coffee and mix with cold oat milk and syrup over ice.
