The soothing aroma of lavender paired with the natural sweetness of honey creates a drink that’s both relaxing and delightful. This easy-to-make latte is a cozy indulgence perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender
  • 1/2 cup freshly brewed espresso or strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup milk of your choice (whole, oat, almond, or soy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water, 3 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon dried lavender. Heat over medium heat until the mixture comes to a gentle simmer. Stir occasionally and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
  2. Remove the saucepan from heat and strain the mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a small jar or bowl. Discard the lavender buds and let the syrup cool slightly.
  3. Prepare your espresso or strong coffee. You’ll need about 1/2 cup (120 ml) of brewed coffee.
  4. Heat 1 cup (240 ml) of milk in a small saucepan over medium heat or in a microwave-safe container. Use a milk frother or whisk to create foam. Aim for a temperature of about 150°F (65°C).
  5. In your favorite mug, pour the freshly brewed coffee, add 2-3 teaspoons of the lavender honey syrup (adjust to taste), and mix well.
  6. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug, holding back the foam with a spoon. Once the milk is added, top with foam.
  7. Optional: Sprinkle a few dried lavender buds or a dusting of cinnamon on top for garnish.
