Sipping A Lavender Latte

Taste: This latte has a smooth floral flavor that tastes like springtime. Its mild aroma makes it a lovely drink to sip on while still getting your coffee fix.

Texture: Traditionally served hot with a frothy milk foam on top, every sip of this drink is soothing and warming.

Lavender Syrup

The star ingredient in this delicious latte recipe is the sweetened lavender simple syrup!

As with anything, the taste of homemade lavender syrup just can’t be beat and, in my opinion, tastes far less soapy than the store-bought syrups! The homemade syrup takes just 10 minutes to cook after combining sugar, water, and dried or fresh lavender buds.

Make sure to use food-grade lavender buds to make the syrup!

And if you would prefer to just buy your syrup, we’ve found that Torani Puremade Lavender has the best flavor.

The final result is an aromatic floral-infused flavored syrup that makes this latte shine! And since you’ll have leftover lavender syrup, you can save it to make more lattes or mix it into other teas, lemonade, cocktails, or coffee.

You can even drizzle it on pancakes or ice cream or mix it into frosting to use on cakes and cupcakes!

How To Make A Lavender Latte At Home

Step 1: Prepare the Lavender Simple Syrup at least 1 hour ahead of time so it’s ready to use.

Step 2: Brew espresso and pour it into a coffee mug with some lavender syrup.

Step 3: Steam the milk and pour it into the mug with the espresso and syrup.

Tips For Making This Lavender Latte

• Espresso At Home – Brew up your favorite cup of espresso to use in this lavender latte recipe. This can be done using a countertop espresso machine (we have this one) or a Nespresso machine. Alternatively, you can make a bold roast in a cafetière, which is a French press. (affiliate links)
• Coffee Shop – If none of the above works for you to make espresso at home, just grab a double espresso at your favorite coffee shop! Afterward, bring it back home to follow the remaining instructions in this recipe to create your Lavender Latte.
• Steaming Milk – Steaming the milk for this latte is easily done in an espresso machine with a built-in steamer or milk frother. However, if you don’t have either, you can simply heat the milk in a small saucepan and then use a hand-held frother. Investing in a countertop milk heater and frother is also available.

• Assembling – First, pour the espresso into your latte cup or mug. Once the milk has been steamed, slowly pour it into the center of the espresso. The goal is for the micro foam that was created by steaming the milk to come out last. Lastly, garnish with a sprinkling of lavender buds for a finished look!

I really enjoy making delicious lattes like this as well as coffee & tea in my own kitchen rather than heading to the coffee shop! Doing so allows me less running around and more time sipping while relaxing.

Another frothy treat worth checking out is this viral Whipped Coffee that’s made with only 4 ingredients! However, on warmer days, you may opt for an iced latte such as this Cookie Butter Latte or Iced Chai Latte.
