Print Recipe

A soothing and floral matcha latte sweetened with honey and infused with dried lavender, perfect for a calming ritual or refreshing pick-me-up.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 teaspoon high-quality ceremonial grade matcha powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1 tablespoon honey (raw or mild-flavored, e.g., clover honey)
  • 1 cup milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, or almond milk)
  • ½ cup hot water (about 175°F / 80°C)
  • Optional: 1 drop vanilla extract
  • Optional: lavender syrup for stronger floral flavor

Instructions

  1. Heat ½ cup (120ml) of water to about 175°F (80°C). Place 1 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender buds in a fine mesh strainer or infuser and steep in the hot water for 3–5 minutes until the water turns pale purple or light greenish with a gentle floral scent.
  2. Sift 1 teaspoon (2 grams) of matcha powder into your mug or bowl to avoid clumps. Add 1 tablespoon (21 grams) honey to the matcha.
  3. Remove the lavender buds from the infusion and pour about 2–3 tablespoons (30–45ml) of the warm lavender water over the matcha and honey. Whisk vigorously in a zigzag motion until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Warm 1 cup (240ml) of your choice of milk until steaming but not boiling (around 150°F / 65°C). Froth the milk using a handheld frother or whisk vigorously until creamy and foamy.
  5. Slowly pour the frothed milk into the mug with the matcha-lavender mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Dollop the foam on top for a layered effect. Optionally, garnish with a few lavender buds or a dusting of matcha powder.
  6. Enjoy immediately, sipping slowly to savor the floral, sweet, and earthy flavors.

Notes

Use water below boiling (175°F/80°C) to preserve delicate matcha and lavender flavors. Whisk matcha and honey well before adding milk for smooth sweetness. Avoid overdoing lavender to prevent soapy taste. Froth milk properly for creamy texture. Can substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar for vegan version. Store leftovers in airtight container in fridge up to 24 hours and reheat gently.
