Take a look at this! Bitter coffee floats between two layers of sweet frothy cream to create a gorgeous gradient effect in this show-stopping latte. The uplifting potency of Happiness Powder and soothing benefits of Butterfly Pea Flower combine in this exquisite drink for a treat that is equally nourishing and delicious.
Our Happiness Powder blends mood boosting herbs and adaptogens with digestive bitter herbs; the taste is earthy, lightly roasted, malty, aromatic, and sweet with a mild bitter backnote that pairs beautifully with coffee. Butterfly Pea is not only a feast for the eyes, but its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties provide softness for your nervous system and tissues.
This is a truly delightful drink that is not only perfect for special occasions, but also for bringing some magic, beauty and decadence to your afternoon pick-me-up.
Sip and enjoy!
RECIPE
- Serves: 1
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Method: No bake
- Category: Beverage
- Yield: 2 servings
INGREDIENTS:
- 2 tsp Happiness Powder
- 1 Tbsp Butterfly Pea Flower
- 1 tsp sweetener of choice
- 100 mL (3-2.5oz) coffee, hot
- 50 mL (1.5-2oz) water, hot
- 100 + 50 mL (5oz) milk of choice
- 50 mL (1.5oz) double cream, cold
- 2 drops rose essence
- Dry rose petals, garnish
Directions:
1. Add 100mL (3-3.5oz) half and half to a glass and mix in Happiness powder.
2. Mix the hot water and hot coffee and add it to the cream slowly. (To have separate coffee and milk layers, very slowly pour the hot coffee over the back of the spoon to create a distinct layer on top; the temperature difference in liquids will help maintain the separation, ensuring the denser milk stays at the bottom and the lighter coffee floats on top.)
3. Leave it to rest while you make the top cream.
4. In a cold milk jug, add the 50 mL double cream, 50 mL half and half, sugar, and Butterly Pea Flower powder.
5. Mix with a frother until nicely foamy. If you like, add in a couple drops of rose essence.
6. Again, very slowly pour the blue cold cream over the back of a spoon to create a distinct layer on top of the coffee.
7. Decorate with edible rose petals. Enjoy!
