Ingredients
1 cup strong brewed coffee or 1–2 shots espresso
1 cup milk (dairy, oat, almond, or preferred choice)
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1–2 teaspoons honey or maple syrup or simple syrup
1/4 teaspoon rose water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
1 cup ice cubes
1 teaspoon dried rose petals (optional garnish)
Instructions
1. Brew a strong cup of coffee or espresso and let it cool slightly.
2. Stir in the ground cardamom while the coffee is still warm to infuse flavor.
3. Add your preferred sweetener and mix until fully dissolved.
4. Gently stir in the rose water, adjusting to taste.
5. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
6. Pour the flavored coffee over the ice.
7. Add the milk and stir gently to combine.
8. Add vanilla extract if using and mix lightly.
9. Garnish with dried rose petals and serve immediately.
Notes
Use rose water sparingly to avoid an overpowering floral taste.
Freshly ground cardamom provides a stronger and more aromatic flavor than pre-ground.
For best results, use chilled coffee or pre-cooled espresso to maintain the iced texture without dilution.
