Description
A refreshing Iced Honey Lavender Latte made with a fragrant lavender-infused honey syrup, bold espresso, and creamy oat milk. Perfect for a cozy, floral-flavored cold coffee treat that combines natural sweetness and a soothing aroma.
Ingredients
Lavender Honey Simple Syrup
- ¼ cup honey
- ¼ cup water
- 1 teaspoon dried lavender flowers (culinary grade)
Latte
- 2-3 teaspoons lavender honey simple syrup
- 3 ounces espresso (2 shots) or ½ cup cold brew concentrate
- 4 ounces oat milk (more or less to taste)
- Ice (as needed)
Instructions
- Make the Lavender Honey Simple Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup honey, ¼ cup water, and 1 teaspoon dried lavender flowers. Heat over medium-high heat until the mixture begins to simmer and the honey dissolves, about 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and allow the syrup to steep for 20 to 60 minutes so the lavender flavor fully infuses. Once infused, strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a jar to remove the lavender flowers. The syrup can be used immediately or stored for later use.
- Prepare Your Latte Glass: Pour 2 to 3 teaspoons of the lavender honey simple syrup into a 12-ounce glass or jar, adjusting to your preferred sweetness level.
- Add Espresso and Ice: Pour 3 ounces of freshly brewed espresso or ½ cup cold brew concentrate into the glass. Stir to combine the syrup and coffee. Add ice cubes to fill the glass to your liking.
- Finish with Oat Milk: Pour 4 ounces of oat milk over the ice and coffee mixture. Stir gently to mix all the flavors together. Serve immediately and enjoy your aromatic iced honey lavender latte!
Notes
- You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less lavender honey simple syrup to suit your taste.
- If you prefer a stronger coffee flavor, substitute the espresso with cold brew concentrate or add an extra shot of espresso.
- The lavender honey simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
- Use culinary grade dried lavender flowers to ensure a safe and pleasant flavor.
- Oat milk can be substituted with any plant-based or dairy milk according to dietary preferences.
