How to Make a Lavender Latte

Be the first to rate & review!

This lavender latte has just a hint of lavender that complements the aroma of coffee perfectly. Barista-blend oat milk whips up nicely thanks to a slightly higher fat content. No milk foamer? No problem. Just shake the oat milk vigorously in a sealed mason jar until light and foamy.

Ingredients

¼ cup granulated sugar
¼ cup water
2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender, plus more for garnish
1 ½ cups unsweetened plain barista-blend oat milk
⅔ cup hot strong brewed espresso blend coffee

Directions

Stir sugar, water and lavender together in a small saucepan; bring to simmer over high heat. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture is aromatic, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat; let steep for 30 minutes. Pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer, discarding solids; set the syrup aside. Rinse the saucepan.
Heat oat milk in the saucepan over medium-low heat until it reaches 155°F to 165°F, 2 to 3 minutes. Pour the hot milk into a tall metal glass or other high-sided heatproof container; use a milk frother to blend until bubbling and frothy, about 30 seconds.
Pour 1/3 cup coffee into each of 2 (14-ounce) mugs. Stir 2 teaspoons of the syrup into each mug. (Refrigerate remaining syrup for another use.) Top each with half of the frothed milk. Garnish with additional lavender, if desired.

To make ahead

Refrigerate lavender syrup (Step 1) in an air-tight container for up to 1 week.

Equipment

Candy or deep-fry thermometer

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
