Instructions
Make the rosemary syrup: In a small saucepan, combine ⅓ cup water and ⅓ cup agave (or honey). Bring to medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sweetener dissolves and small bubbles form at the edges. Turn off the heat, add 2–3 rosemary sprigs, and let steep for 10–15 minutes. Strain out the rosemary and transfer the syrup to a jar.
Brew the coffee base: Prepare 1 shot espresso (or ¼ cup strong coffee) and pour into a mug.
Steam the milk: In a small saucepan or frother, heat 1 cup oat milk until warm and foamy (do not boil).
Assemble the latte: Stir 2 tbsp rosemary syrup into the espresso, adjusting to taste. Pour the steamed milk over top, holding back foam if preferred, then spoon foam on last.
Garnish & enjoy: Optionally, add a fresh rosemary sprig for garnish. Sip warm!
