Pink Oat Milk Latte

Q: What ingredients give the drink its pink colour?

Most recipes use strawberry syrup/puree, beetroot powder or dragon fruit (pitaya) powder to achieve that vibrant pink without any artificial dyes.

Q: Will oat milk work well in this drink?

Absolutely. Oat milk froths beautifully, has a creamy texture, and enhances the pastel aesthetic of this dreamy drink.

Q: Are any spices commonly added?

Some cafés and home cooks boost the flavour with spices like ginger, cardamom or cinnamon, especially in beet-based versions. You can always adjust these to your own preferences.

Q: Can I make it hot and iced?

Yes! These lattes are versatile. Heat the oat milk mix for a warm version, or chill and pour over ice for a layered iced latte.

Q: Does it contain any caffeine?

Not unless you add coffee or matcha. Most “pink latte” versions are caffeine-free, unless specified otherwise. This recipe is caffeine-free. If you do wish to add any coffee into it, just note that the colour may change from that Insta-worthy blush pink to a more brownish-pink, or a mauve colour. Surprisingly, it can taste really nice - the bitterness of espresso balances the sweetness of the strawberry, vanilla, and maple, while the oat milk keeps it creamy. The cardamom and ginger would also complement the espresso beautifully, like a rose-spiced dirty latte

SERVINGS

Ingredients

1/3 cup fresh strawberry puree or high-quality strawberry syrup
1 ½ cups oat milk (barista-style preferred for best froth)
1 tsp vanilla extract
2–3 tsp maple syrup or honey (to taste)
0.5-1 tsp beetroot powder (for natural colour – start small and adjust)
1–2 drops rosewater (optional, but beautiful – go light!)
1 small pinch ground cardamom
1 small pinch ground ginger
Ice (if serving iced)

Instructions

In a small saucepan over low heat (or in a microwave-safe container), gently warm the oat milk with the strawberry puree, maple syrup or honey, vanilla extract, rose water, beetroot powder, cardamom, and ginger powder. Stir well to combine. Do not boil.
If serving hot, use a milk frother, handheld whisk, or French press plunger to froth the warmed mixture until light and foamy. Pour into mugs.
If serving iced, allow the mixture to cool slightly. Fill two glasses with ice, then pour the pink latte mixture over the top.
Taste and adjust sweetness as desired. Garnish with dried rose petals, strawberry slices, or a dusting of beetroot powder for that Instagram ready finish.
Sip and enjoy your cozy, floral, feel-good latte moment – hot or iced!
