Ingredients
Espresso
- 2 espresso shots (2 ounces)
Lavender Syrup
- 1 to 3 teaspoons lavender syrup, to taste
Milk
- 1 cup (8 ounces) milk
Instructions
- Prepare the milk: For the hot lavender latte, steam or froth the milk until it reaches between 150-160°F, using a steamer or heat the milk in a saucepan until hot and then froth with a milk frother. For the iced version, no heating is required; simply use chilled milk.
- Mix espresso and lavender syrup: For the hot latte, combine the espresso shots with 1 to 3 teaspoons of lavender syrup in a mug and stir briefly to blend the flavors evenly. For the iced latte, combine the milk and lavender syrup in a serving glass and stir gently.
- Assemble the drink: For the hot latte, pour the frothed milk into the espresso and syrup mixture, pouring into the center to create a velvety texture. For the iced latte, fill the glass with ice to the top, then pour the espresso over the ice and stir to combine everything well.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the hot lavender latte immediately while warm, or serve the iced version cold. Enjoy your aromatic and comforting lavender latte!
Notes
- You can adjust the amount of lavender syrup according to your taste preference, starting with 1 teaspoon and increasing up to 3 teaspoons for a stronger floral flavor.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute the milk with almond, oat, or soy milk.
- Use freshly brewed espresso shots for the best flavor. If you do not have an espresso machine, strong brewed coffee can be a substitute though flavor will differ.
- When steaming or heating milk, avoid overheating to prevent a burnt taste.
- If making iced latte, use cold milk and fresh ice to keep the drink refreshing without dilution.
