Lavender Latte

Glass filled with iced coffee and lavender whipped cream. Topped with lavender. Sitting on a white counter in front of a wood wall.

This lavender latte is a delicious way to start (or add a little boost!) your day! Espresso (or strong coffee!) with steamed milk and lavender syrup is topped with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkled with fresh or dried lavender flowers for a lightly sweet latte with soft floral notes. It is instagram worthy for both beauty and deliciousness!

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Pour the foamy lavender milk over the espresso.
Top with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with dried or fresh lavender.

Notes

Notes:

Make the Lavender Syrup with this recipe.
To make this dairy free, use oat milk or almond milk.
If you don't have an espresso machine, make a very strong cup of coffee in your coffee maker. It won't be exactly the same as espresso, but the same idea and also delicious.
For a decadent addition, make lavender whipped cream! To make this, add 2 tablespoon lavender syrup to one cup of heavy whipping cream. Whip it, until you have whipped cream to your desired thickness. Add it to your lavender latte for an extra level of yum!
Enjoy!
