A refreshing and creamy iced latte infused with floral lavender and natural honey sweetness, perfect for summer refreshment.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (60 ml) espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk (whole, 2%, oat, or almond milk)
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions

  1. Bring 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water to a gentle boil. Remove from heat, add 1 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender, and let it steep for 5 minutes. Strain out the lavender buds and set the floral water aside to cool slightly.
  2. Prepare 2 shots (60 ml) of espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) of strong brewed coffee. Let it cool to room temperature or chill in the fridge for faster cooling.
  3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the honey with the warm lavender water. Stir until the honey dissolves fully. If the mixture is too cool, gently warm it to help the honey blend in.
  4. Pour the cooled espresso or coffee into a glass. Add the lavender honey mixture and stir gently to combine.
  5. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of milk over the coffee mixture. Add 1 cup of ice cubes or enough to fill your glass to the top.
  6. Stir in 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra depth of flavor (optional).
  7. If desired, froth a small amount of milk separately and spoon it on top before serving.
  8. Serve immediately with a reusable straw or spoon to stir occasionally as the ice melts.

Notes

Steep lavender in hot water (not boiling) to avoid bitterness. Dissolve honey in warm lavender water for smooth blending. Use cooled coffee to prevent ice melting too fast. Whole milk or creamy plant-based milk recommended for best texture. Vanilla extract is optional but adds warmth. Syrup can be made ahead and stored refrigerated for up to one week.
