Notes
- Use freshly brewed espresso for the best flavor profile.
- Lavender simple syrup can be homemade or store-bought; adjust sweetness to your preference.
- Oat milk frothing requires a good frother or steaming wand; alternative plant milks can be experimented with.
- For a vegan version, use maple syrup instead of honey for drizzling.
- Lavender flowers used for garnish should be edible and pesticide-free.
