This cozy coffee drink is unlike any other! Made with your choice of milk and sweetened with a simple lavender syrup, this Lavender Latte is perfect for a relaxing morning or when you just need a quiet moment to yourself. The addition of dried lavender to your latte not only adds a fantastic taste, but also creates a wonderfully cozy atmosphere.
To make the lavender syrup, simply bring water to a boil in a small pot, add sugar and lavender, and stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, strain the syrup, and discard the lavender buds. This syrup can be stored in the fridge for up to three weeks.
To prepare the latte, make espresso and pour it into a small cup. Stir in the lavender syrup, then steam or heat your milk of choice and add it to the espresso. You can garnish with additional lavender buds if desired.
This recipe can be customized with different types of milk, and you can adjust the amount of syrup to suit your sweetness preference. Lavender in culinary grade is readily available from online retailers. Enjoy this cozy Lavender Latte as the weather transitions from winter to spring!
