Description

This Honey Lavender Latte is a delicate and aromatic coffee drink that combines the floral notes of culinary lavender with the natural sweetness of honey and creamy milk. Perfect for a relaxing morning or an afternoon treat, this latte is made by gently infusing milk with lavender, then combining it with rich espresso or strong brewed coffee. It’s easy to prepare and customizable with your choice of milk, making it a delightful and soothing beverage.

Ingredients

Latte Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk (or any milk of choice)
  • 1 shot (1 ounce) espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Extra honey and lavender buds for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Infuse the milk: In a small saucepan, combine the milk, honey, and dried lavender. Heat gently over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture is hot but not boiling. Then, remove the saucepan from heat and allow the mixture to steep for 5 minutes so the lavender flavor infuses fully.
  2. Strain the lavender: Using a fine mesh strainer, strain out the lavender buds from the warm milk mixture to ensure a smooth texture in the latte.
  3. Add vanilla extract: Stir the vanilla extract into the strained milk to add depth and warmth to the flavor profile.
  4. Prepare the coffee: While the milk is steeping, brew your espresso shot or strong coffee and pour it into a serving mug.
  5. Froth the milk: Froth the infused milk using a milk frother or by vigorously shaking it in a jar with a lid until it becomes light and foamy.
  6. Assemble the latte: Pour the warm, frothy milk over the espresso in the mug, allowing the foam to top the drink beautifully.
  7. Garnish and serve: Drizzle the latte with a little extra honey and sprinkle with a few lavender buds if desired. Serve immediately to enjoy the fresh floral notes and creamy sweetness.

Notes

  • Use oat milk or almond milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Adjust honey to taste if you prefer it more or less sweet.
  • Culinary-grade lavender is essential—do not use lavender meant for decoration or fragrance.
