Labrador Brown Sugar Osmanthus Latte
This adorable brown sugar osmanthus latte combines floral milk tea with a hand-crafted Labrador milk foam, perfect for cozy winter menus and creative drink launches.
When brown sugar meets floral tea and transforms into an irresistibly cute Labrador milk foam — that’s when a cozy winter latte becomes an unforgettable story.
The Labrador Brown Sugar Osmanthus Latte is a signature creation from Hojalicious’s character-inspired drink series. It starts with a layer of deep, aromatic brown sugar syrup, followed by a smooth milk tea base made with osmanthus oolong, non-dairy creamer, and cane sugar. The flavor is gentle, creamy, and finished with a subtle floral lift from the osmanthus.
Next, a shot of espresso is floated in to create a rich caramel-colored gradient. Then comes the creamy milk foam topping, made from freshly whipped cream and brûléed with brown sugar for that golden, crackly crust.
But the real charm? A Labrador dog-shaped milk foam sits proudly on top—crafted entirely by hand with airy foam, giving this brown sugar osmanthus latte a character twist that’s just too cute to drink.
Whether it’s for a winter limited menu, holiday collaboration, or social media campaign, this drink brings together taste, visuals, and emotion. It’s more than just a latte—it’s a cozy moment, a creative dessert, and a social-ready highlight all in one.
