As the chill of winter draws in, we turn to snuggly blankets, cosy jumpers and delicious hot drinks. I don't know about you, but I love the festive season and the chance to unwind and take some time to myself. 

In our Soho store, we have a selection of rainbow lattes made from all natural ingredients to keep you pumped during the shorter, dark days, with a favourite being the bright, sweet Lychee Rose Latte. 

We thought it was so popular, it would be fun to make our lattes into a gift set, to allow you to make it at home, and also to gift to friends!

Starting with the Lychee Rose, this is a perfect gift for friends who love their superfoods, or even as a Secret Santa present as it is under a tenner. 

In this post, we will take you through how to make the perfect Lychee Rose Latte. This easy, DIY kit is just six, simple steps. It can be used with any milks (making it a great gift for your vegan friend!) and each kit makes 6 lattes. Yum! 

TASTE: Floral, Earthy Undertones, Fruity

STEP 1 

STEEP THE TEA - add a tablespoon of tea inside the tea infuser ball and steep in boiling hot water for 2 - 3 minutes. The tea is a special Cutter & Squidge blend!

STEP 2

ADD A TEASPOON of the pink powder and stir. The pink powder is made from beetroot to give your latte that wonderful pink hue.

STEP 3

FROTH 100ml of your favourite milk, we love oat and coconut milk best!

STEP 4 

POUR MILK on the brewed lychee tea.

STEP 5

SPRINKLE the latte with rose petals + raspberries.

STEP 6

ENJOY your uniquely fragrant, all natural lychee rose latte.
