• Bring water to a boil for the tea. While the water is coming to a boil, get started on the simple syrup.

Prepare the Simple Syrup

• In a small saucepan, bring the syrup ingredients to a boil.
  1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup rose petals
• Reduce to low heat and simmer for 15 minutes.
• Remove from heat, strain and cool in the refrigerator for 10 minutes.

Prepare the Tea

• While the syrup is cooling, prepare black tea by adding the tea bags to boiling water and letting them steep for 3-5 minutes.
  2 bag black tea
• Pour milk into a saucepan and heat over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally to prevent a skin from forming on top and to ensure even heating.
  1 cup milk
• Heat until the milk is warm, but not boiling. This usually takes about 3-5 minutes.
• Combine milk, tea, and 2 tbsp rose syrup. Stir to create a delicious herbal latte, and enjoy!
