Ingredients

🍽️ Servings: 1 • 🔥 Calories/Serving: 150

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond milk or oat milk)
1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds
1 shot of espresso (about 1 ounce) or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
1 tablespoon honey (adjust to taste)
Optional: a pinch of culinary-grade lavender buds for garnish

Steps

Step 1

In a small saucepan, heat the milk over low heat until it starts to steam. Be careful not to let it boil.

Step 2

Add the dried lavender buds to the milk and let it steep for about 3-4 minutes, allowing the milk to be infused with the floral aroma.

Step 3

While the milk is steeping, prepare your espresso or strong brewed coffee and pour it into a large mug.

Step 4

After steeping, strain the milk to remove the lavender buds, and then froth the milk using a milk frother or whisk until it becomes creamy and velvety.

Step 5

Pour the frothed lavender-infused milk into the mug with espresso or coffee.

Step 6

Stir in the honey, adjusting the amount to your preferred level of sweetness.

Step 7

Optionally, garnish with a sprinkle of culinary-grade lavender buds for an elegant touch and an extra burst of fragrance.

Make it your own!

Customize the sweetness by using different types of honey, such as wildflower honey, lavender-infused honey, or manuka honey.
For a more indulgent treat, top the latte with a dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of honey.
Add a dash of vanilla extract to the milk before frothing for an extra layer of flavor.
