Ingredients
  

For the Lavender Syrup:
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Sugar
  • 1/2 cup Dried culinary lavender
For the Latte:
  • 2 cups Milk your favorite type (whole, almond, oat, or soy)
  • 1/2 cup Lavender syrup made from above
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
  • 1-2 ounces Espresso or strong coffee good-quality for best flavor

Equipment

  • Espresso machine or coffee maker
  • Milk frother or whisk
  • Small saucepan
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Method
 

Directions:
  1. In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and dried lavender. Bring to a boil, stirring until sugar dissolves. Simmer for 10 minutes and let steep for 30 minutes. Strain into a jar and refrigerate.
  2. Brew your espresso or strong coffee while the lavender syrup cools.
  3. Heat the milk in a saucepan until warm but not boiling. Froth the milk using a frother or whisk.
  4. For a hot latte, combine brewed espresso, lavender syrup, and vanilla extract in a cup. Pour frothed milk over and garnish with dried lavender buds.
  5. For an iced latte, fill a glass with ice, pour espresso over it, add lavender syrup and vanilla, then top with cold milk. Stir gently and garnish.

Notes

  • Store lavender syrup in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Freeze lavender syrup in ice cube trays for easy portioning.
  • Use fresh milk for the best flavor, but leftover latte can be refrigerated for 24 hours.
