A refreshing and creamy iced latte infused with floral lavender notes, perfect for hot days and easy to make with simple ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1 cup (240 ml) hot water for steeping lavender
  • 2 shots (60 ml) espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk of choice (whole, almond, oat, coconut, or cashew milk)
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vanilla syrup or simple syrup (or honey/maple syrup as a substitute)
  • Ice cubes to fill serving glass
  • Optional: pinch of edible lavender petals for garnish

Instructions

  1. Bring 1 cup (240 ml) of water to near boil and pour over 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds in a heatproof container. Cover and steep for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Strain the lavender water through a fine mesh strainer into a bowl or jug, pressing gently to extract flavor but leaving buds behind. Let cool about 5 minutes.
  3. Brew 2 shots (60 ml) espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong coffee. Pour over ice cubes (about 3/4 cup or 180 ml ice) in serving glass.
  4. Stir 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vanilla syrup into the warm lavender water until combined. If using honey or maple syrup, dissolve while water is warm.
  5. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) milk into the lavender syrup mixture and stir gently to blend into a creamy floral milk base.
  6. Slowly pour the lavender milk mixture over the iced coffee, allowing layers to swirl.
  7. Gently stir and garnish with edible lavender petals if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Steep lavender no longer than 7 minutes to avoid bitterness. Use whole milk for richness or oat milk for a creamy dairy-free option. Warm liquids help dissolve syrup fully. Pour lavender milk slowly over coffee for pretty layers. Strain well to avoid gritty bits. Can be made hot by warming lavender milk and combining with hot espresso.
