How to Make Chamomile Rose Tea Latte

Prep Time: 5 minutes | Cook Time: 5 minutes | Total Time: 10 minutes

Servings: 1

Ingredients

• • 2 Tazo Calm Chamomile Tea Bags
  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons rose water
  • 2 teaspoons rose syrup (adjust for sweetness)
  • 2 teaspoons honey (or more to taste)
  • 1 cup oat milk (or your milk of choice)
  • 1 teaspoon dried rose petals (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

Step 1: Steep the Chamomile Tea

• • Place 2 Tazo Calm Chamomile tea bags in a large mug or latte cup (around 16 oz).
  • In a small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
  • Once boiling, remove from heat and pour over the tea bags.
  • Stir in 2 tsp rose water, 2 tsp rose syrup, and 2 tsp honey.
  • Mix well using a measuring spoon, then let steep for 4–5 minutes to release all that floral calmness.

Step 2: Froth the Milk

• • In the same saucepan, bring 1 cup oat milk to a gentle boil until you start to see steam and bubbles.
  • Remove from heat and use the Zulay Tornado Milk Frother to froth the milk until rich and foamy.

Zulay Says: Tilt your frother slightly and move it up and down for optimal froth.

Step 3: Assemble the Latte

• • Using a spoon, gently strain the frothy milk into the tea mixture, pouring the liquid first and spooning the froth on top.
  • You may leave the tea bags in the cup for stronger flavor, or remove them if you prefer.

Step 4: Garnish and Enjoy

• • Top with a light sprinkle of dried rose petals for an Instagram-worthy finish.
  • Sip slowly, and breathe deeply.

Tips, Variations & Custom Add-ins

• Sweetness control. Adjust the honey and rose syrup based on your preference. You can swap honey with agave or maple syrup.
• Different tea bases. Try lavender chamomile, hibiscus, or green tea for variations.
• Oat milk alternatives. Almond milk and coconut milk both froth beautifully and taste great with floral notes.
• Chill it down. Make an iced version by cooling the tea and pouring over ice, then adding frothed cold milk.
• Extra floral. Add ¼ tsp dried lavender buds while steeping the tea for an extra botanical note.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chamomile Rose Tea Latte

Can I make this latte caffeine-free?

Yes! This recipe is naturally caffeine-free since chamomile tea doesn’t contain caffeine. It’s perfect for evenings, people sensitive to caffeine, or anyone looking for a calming drink before bed. Just make sure you don’t substitute chamomile with black or green tea if you want to keep it caffeine-free. 

What kind of milk works best for frothing?

Oat milk is ideal because it froths up beautifully and has a natural sweetness that complements the floral flavors. If you're dairy-free, almond and soy milk also froth well. For dairy lovers, whole milk provides rich foam. 

Can I make this into an iced latte?

Absolutely! To make it iced, steep your tea as usual, but let it cool completely. Froth cold milk using your milk frother, then pour the cooled tea over ice and add frothed milk on top. You’ll get that beautiful layering effect and all the floral notes in a refreshing summer version.

Is rose water safe to consume?

Yes—but make sure you're using food-grade rose water. It’s often used in Middle Eastern and Indian desserts and adds a lovely floral flavor to drinks like this. A few drops go a long way, so don’t overdo it. Stick to around 2 teaspoons per cup for balanced flavor. You can usually find rose water in the baking or international aisle of most grocery stores, or purchase it online from a reputable brand.

Can I customize the sweetener?

Of course! This recipe uses honey and rose syrup for a floral, earthy sweetness, but you can swap in maple syrup, agave nectar, stevia, or monk fruit if you’re watching your sugar intake. 

What can I use if I don’t have a milk frother?

You can use a French press to froth warm milk by pumping it up and down vigorously. You can also use a balloon whisk, or immersion blender, or shake warm milk in a sealed jar (careful with pressure).

Are rose petals edible? Where do I find them?

Yes, if they are culinary-grade dried rose petals. You can find these at specialty tea shops, health food stores, or online. Always make sure the petals are labeled as food-safe and haven’t been treated with chemicals.
