Transcript

Welcome to Latte DIY or Buy, a series where we show you how to make our most popular drinks. Don't ask. Do you really wanna make this at home? We're making our first hot drink in this series. We're gonna add our salted honey rosemary syrup, which is salt, honey, and rosemary, and better, but that doesn't matter. We're gonna do 30 grams of this. Gonna add a shot of espresso. Can I say that? Espresso. Gonna crack open a fresh whole no. Yeah. And we're gonna steam it. Tier right back. Then you have to do a latte art. That looks like shit. Better how does it taste? Really fucking good. My verdict is in, and you should make this one at home, actually. It's really easy. It's just salt, honey, rosemary, water, all the other shits in the caption.
