    Why this recipe works

    This recipe is:

    • Easy to make
    • Ready in under 5 minutes!
    • Free of refined sugar
    • Dairy free

    Ingredients

    Ingredients needed for honey lavender latte.

    Dried Lavender flowers

    Dried lavender buds add the floral flavor to this recipe. You will need culinary lavender for this latte. It should be easily available online. Make sure to check the labels that it is food grade. 

    Honey

    I try to use local honey when possible. 

    Espresso

    This recipe calls for two espresso shots. You can use an espresso maker, aeropress, or Moka pot. You can also use a french press to make an extra strong cup of coffee, or use strong cold brew coffee. 

    Oat Milk 

    This recipe calls for oat milk, but you can use your favorite milk of choice or non-dairy product here. Almond milk and whole milk also work great! For more info about the best clean oat milks to use, check out Honey Cinnamon Latte. 

    See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements. 

    Instructions

    First make the homemade lavender syrup. Combine honey, water, and dried lavender in a small saucepan and heat over medium heat. Simmer until the honey dissolves, then remove from heat.

    Let cool and store.

    Let sit for about 20-30 minutes to infuse the syrup with the lavender flavor. Strain the syrup to remove the lavender. Store in an airtight container. This syrup should last about 1 week in the refrigerator.

    Equipment

    • Espresso Maker

    Ingredients
      

    Honey Lavender Syrup

    • 1 teaspoon dried lavender
    • ¼ cup honey
    • ¼ cup water

    Latte

    • 2 ounces espresso
    • ½ cup oat milk regular or barista

    Instructions
     

    Make the honey lavender simple syrup:

    • In a small sauce pan combine the honey, water and dried lavender. Heat over medium heat until reaching a simmer, stirring occasionally. Once honey fully dissolves, remove from heat and let sit for 20-30 minutes to allow the lavender to seep. Strain the syrup using a fine mesh strainer into a sealed container.

    Make the latte

    • Froth or steam milk to desired consistency.
    • Pour 1-2 ounces of honey lavender syrup into a mug depending on desired strength of syrup and sweetener. Add espresso.
    • Top with frothed or steamed milk.
    • For the iced version, add ice before the last step.

    Notes

    To froth milk, use a milk, frother or heat milk in a small saucepan and whisk until frothy.
