Description
Savor the soothing and aromatic flavors of a Sakura Latte, a Japanese-inspired beverage with delicate floral notes of cherry blossoms and creamy milk. Perfect for springtime or any season, this caffeine-free drink is simple to make and endlessly versatile.
Ingredients

- Serve: Pour the sakura-infused milk into a mug. Add whipped cream if desired and enjoy.
