Why You’ll Love This Recipe

You don’t need fancy equipment or ingredients to make this lavender latte at home! I use homemade lavender syrup and lavender buds might be a little difficult to find, but once you get a bag online (such as Amazon), you’ll have so much to last you for ages! You can also buy lavender syrup.
I love making this when I have guests for brunch because it seems like a coffee that takes a lot of work to make, but it really just comes together in a few minutes!
I love the delicate floral flavor! Lavender is quite calming, so I find that it’s a nice way for me to start off a busy day.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Ingredients needed to make a lavender latte.

espresso — I use vanilla Nespresso pods, but you can brew a strong coffee or use instant espresso.
lavender syrup — you can make this at home by simmering a 1:1 ratio of water and sugar with a spoonful or two of lavender buds. Here’s my homemade lavender syrup recipe. You can also buy it on Amazon.
milk — you can use regular milk or dairy-free milk. I use regular milk as I like to froth my milk, and I find it froths better than nut-milk.

How to Make a Lavender Latte

Prepare your coffee. I use a coffee maker. Heat up your milk if you’d like warm milk. You can heat up the milk in a machine or on the stovetop. You can even microwave the milk if you choose to. Alternatively, froth your milk!
To a glass or mug, add the lavender syrup. Add ice if you’d like to enjoy it cold.
Add the coffee.

Recipe Tips and Notes

If you don’t have a milk frother, you can simply add the milk to a mason jar and shake until foam forms! You can also just heat up milk on the stovetop. I use my trusty smeg.
You can skip frothing the milk and just add it directly to the coffee if you prefer.
If you’re a fan of honey flavors (similar to the Starbucks’ Honeycomb Lavender Latte), you can use my honey lavender syrup! Or add a drizzle of honey to the latte at the end.
If you want to make this lavender latte even stronger, you can add some lavender syrup to the milk before you froth it.
