Discover a new way to enjoy the delicious combination of rooibos and chocolate: Chocolate Rooibos Latte! This fragrant drink from Fluidum Chocolate Rooibos BIO capsules will enchant you with its delicate chocolate flavor and warming rooibos notes. You can easily prepare it from a Fluidum capsule in a coffee machine – as an espresso shot – and enjoy it both hot and iced.
Here's how to make both variations.
What you will need:
- 1 Fluidum Chocolate Rooibos BIO capsule
- 200 ml of milk of your preference (cow's, almond, or oat)
- honey to taste (optional)
Preparation recommendation:
To prevent flavors from mixing and to keep your coffee machine clean, we recommend rinsing the appliance with water before preparation (and after). Simply run one longer cycle without inserting a capsule.
Recipe for Hot Chocolate Rooibos Latte:
- Capsule preparation: Insert a Fluidum Chocolate Rooibos BIO capsule into the coffee machine and prepare a "shot" (espresso setting).
- Milk heating: Heat the milk to a temperature between 60 and 65 °C. You can use a milk frother for fine foam – cow's milk or barista-style oat milk works great, as they foam well and give the latte a creamy texture.
- Combining flavors: Pour the heated milk into a mug, create a layer of foam, and slowly add the hot rooibos shot.
- Sweetening: Rooibos is naturally honey-sweet, but if you prefer sweeter drinks, you can add a little honey to taste.
- Serving: Serve hot and enjoy this "soul-soothing" drink.
Recipe for Iced Chocolate Rooibos Latte:
- Rooibos shot preparation: As with the hot version, prepare a rooibos shot from a Fluidum capsule in the coffee machine.
- Milk preparation: Pour about 150 ml of cold milk into a shaker or tall glass. We recommend trying almond or oat milk.
- Ice preparation: Place several ice cubes in the glass according to your preference – the more ice, the more refreshing the drink will be.
- Combining flavors: Pour the rooibos shot into the prepared milk with ice. For extra flavor, you can also add a pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract.
- Serving: Gently stir and serve. Iced Chocolate Rooibos Latte is a refreshing choice for sunny summer days or as an afternoon treat.
Preparation is really easy, whether you choose the hot version to warm you up, or the iced version for refreshment.
Treat yourself to a caffeine-free Chocolate Rooibos Latte anytime of day!
Cheers :)
