Method
Espresso & Syrups
Brew espresso
Pull two 1-1.25 oz shots of espresso (about 2 shots total) into a preheated cup or small pitcher. Fresh espresso gives the best flavor balance with the syrups.
Add syrups to espresso
Add 2 tablespoons vanilla syrup and 1 tablespoon elderflower syrup to the hot espresso. Stir gently until fully combined and slightly cooled (about 10–15 seconds).
Milk
Combine milk and espresso
Pour the steamed milk into the espresso and syrup mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon to create a smooth latte body. Finish by spooning a thin layer of microfoam on top.
Topping & Finish
Add whipped cream
Gently pipe or dollop about 2 tablespoons of whipped cream onto the center of the latte.
Garnish with edible flowers
Place 2 edible flowers delicately onto the whipped cream. If desired, lightly dust with 1 teaspoon of vanilla dust or a pinch of powdered sugar for visual contrast.
Serve immediately while warm. Provide a small spoon for stirring if the guest wants to mix the whipped cream and flower into the latte.
