A luxurious Middle Eastern-inspired latte that captures the essence of maamoul cookies in a warm, comforting drink. Rich espresso mingles with sweet date syrup and aromatic spices, topped with frothy milk for a café-worthy experience at home.
Store date syrup in the refrigerator for up to 6 months. For a stronger spice flavor, toast the cardamom briefly before adding. This latte can be made iced by cooling the espresso and serving over ice with cold milk. For a vegan version, use oat or almond milk. The rose water adds an authentic Middle Eastern touch but can be omitted if unavailable.
