Print Recipe

A smooth, creamy iced latte with subtle floral notes of lavender, natural sweetness from honey, and a dairy-free creamy texture from oat milk. Perfect for a refreshing summer pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (60 ml / 2 fl oz) espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, preferably barista-style
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons (15–30 ml) honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • Ice cubes as needed

Instructions

  1. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of oat milk into a small saucepan. Add 1 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender. Heat gently over low heat for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. The milk should be warm but not boiling.
  2. Remove from heat and let it steep for another 5 minutes off the burner. Then strain through a fine mesh strainer into a clean bowl or measuring cup to remove the lavender buds. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. While the milk is infusing, prepare 2 shots (60 ml / 2 fl oz) of espresso or ½ cup (120 ml) of strong brewed coffee. If using brewed coffee, chill it in the fridge.
  4. Stir 1 to 2 tablespoons (15-30 ml) of honey into the warm lavender-infused oat milk until fully dissolved. Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract if using. Taste and adjust honey if desired.
  5. Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the espresso over the ice, then top with the lavender honey oat milk mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  6. Serve immediately for the freshest floral notes and creamy texture.

Notes

Keep the milk temperature low to avoid bitterness and preserve lavender flavor. Stir honey into warm milk for better dissolution. Use barista-style oat milk for creaminess. Freshly ground espresso beans improve flavor. Use filtered water for ice cubes for best taste. Store infused oat milk separately in the fridge up to 2 days.
