Print Recipe

A soothing and creamy lavender latte made in a French press, perfect for a calm morning ritual with simple ingredients and quick preparation.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon (7 g) medium-coarse ground coffee beans (medium roast recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon (1 g) dried culinary lavender buds (organic, food-grade)
  • 8 oz (240 ml) water, just off-boil (about 200°F or 93°C)
  • 6 oz (180 ml) milk of choice (whole milk preferred; almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 to 2 teaspoons sweetener (raw honey or maple syrup recommended)
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg

Instructions

  1. Add 1 tablespoon of medium-coarse ground coffee and 1 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender buds into your French press.
  2. Heat 8 oz of water to just below boiling (around 200°F or 93°C). If no thermometer, boil and rest for 30 seconds.
  3. Pour about 2 oz of hot water into the French press to saturate the grounds and lavender. Stir gently and let sit for 30 seconds.
  4. Add the remaining 6 oz of hot water to the French press. Place the lid on with the plunger pulled up and steep for 4 minutes.
  5. While coffee steeps, heat 6 oz of milk on the stove or with a frother until hot but not boiling (around 150°F or 65°C). Froth the milk until creamy and foamy.
  6. Slowly press the plunger down to separate grounds and lavender. Pour brewed coffee into a mug.
  7. Stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of sweetener and vanilla extract if using. Gently pour in the frothed milk, holding back foam with a spoon, then spoon foam on top.
  8. Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of ground lavender, cinnamon, or nutmeg on top as garnish.

Notes

Avoid over-steeping lavender to prevent bitterness. Use fresh coffee grounds for best flavor. Milk frothing can be done with a whisk or shaking warmed milk if no frother is available. Adjust sweetener gradually to taste. Store brewed lavender coffee concentrate in fridge up to 48 hours.
