Step-by-Step Instructions for Sakura Latte

In a medium saucepan, pour in your choice of milk and add the Sakura powder. Heat over medium-high, whisking continuously for about 5-7 minutes until it starts to steam.
Once the milk is steaming, remove the saucepan from the heat, and stir in honey to taste, adjusting according to preference.
Chill a mixing bowl and pour in the heavy cream. Whip until foamy, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the warm Sakura milk into your favorite cup, leaving room for the whipped cream. Spoon the cream on top.
Sprinkle additional Sakura powder on top and serve warm.
