Recipe Summary

Ingredients

• 1 cup whole milk (or non-dairy milk of your choice)
• 1 tbsp culinary lavender
• 1-2 tbsp honey, to taste
• 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Optional: extra honey and a sprig of lavender for garnish

Instructions

1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it begins to steam. Do not let it boil.
2. Add the culinary lavender to the milk and let it steep for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Strain the milk to remove the lavender buds and return the milk to the saucepan.
4. Add honey and vanilla extract to the milk, stirring until fully dissolved.
5. Brew your espresso or strong coffee and pour it into your favorite mug.
6. Froth the lavender-infused milk using a milk frother or by whisking vigorously until it becomes creamy and frothy.
7. Pour the frothy milk over your coffee, creating a gentle swirl.
8. Drizzle extra honey on top and garnish with a sprig of lavender if desired.

Helpful Tips

For a caffeine-free option, use a strong brewed herbal tea instead of coffee. To make this latte vegan, substitute the whole milk with almond milk, oat milk, or any other plant-based milk, and use agave syrup instead of honey. Feel free to adjust the amount of honey to suit your taste preference. If you’re out of culinary lavender, you can use lavender syrup as a substitute, adjusting the sweetness accordingly.

Complementary Dishes and Drinks

This Honey Lavender Latte pairs beautifully with light, buttery pastries such as croissants or scones. For a wholesome breakfast, serve it alongside a bowl of fresh fruit or a slice of lavender-infused pound cake. A simple side of vanilla yogurt with berries also complements the flavors wonderfully. Enjoy this latte with a good book or a loved one for the ultimate relaxing experience.
