The coziest coffee drink! This lavender latte is made with espresso, your milk of selection, and sweetened with a fast and easy-to-make lavender easy syrup.

Why I Love This Recipe

Warm, grounding and oh so cozy, this latte is ideal for a slow morning or whenever you just need a peaceful moment to yourself.

I’m an avid tea drinker but I’m also a sucker for a mid-afternoon latte. I actually do love the taste of coffee. Much more so, I really like the haunting aroma of coffee. A latte around 2pm is just what I would like to rally for the rest of the workday. I also love a latte on a comfy weekend once I’m curled up with a superb book!

Adding culinary dried lavender to your latte (or any recipe for that matter) tastes and smells amazing. And there’s something really cozy about recipes that decision for lavender. Like this latte – SO. COZY.

You possibly can make this recipe with regular milk or any non-dairy milk, depending in your preferences. Any milk you select should provide that creamy, smooth texture we all know and love from lattes when frothed. Although I personally love regular milk and oat milk the most effective!

Enjoy this cozy latte as we brave the last weeks of winter and begin approaching spring! Floral flavors at all times make me consider springtime temps and blooms. Get excited!
