Print Recipe

A cozy and creamy latte infused with floral lavender and sweet honey, perfect for peaceful mornings. This easy recipe combines espresso, steamed milk, and a lavender honey infusion for a unique and comforting drink.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 shot (30 ml) espresso or ½ cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk (or oat/almond milk for vegan option, unsweetened)
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons honey (local raw honey preferred)
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) water for steeping lavender

Instructions

  1. Pour ½ cup (120 ml) of water into a small saucepan and bring to a gentle boil. Remove from heat and stir in 1 teaspoon of dried culinary lavender buds. Cover and let steep for 5 minutes.
  2. Use a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser to remove the lavender buds, pressing gently to extract flavor. Set the lavender-infused water aside.
  3. Prepare 1 shot (30 ml) of espresso or ½ cup (120 ml) of strong brewed coffee. Pour into your favorite mug or latte glass.
  4. While the coffee is hot, stir in 1 to 2 tablespoons of honey and ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract, if using. Then add the lavender-infused water and stir to combine.
  5. Heat 1 cup (240 ml) of milk on the stove or in the microwave until hot but not boiling (around 150°F or 65°C). Froth the milk using a frother, whisk, or French press until creamy and foamy.
  6. Slowly pour the steamed milk over the coffee mixture, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then, spoon the foam on top for a classic latte look. Optionally, sprinkle a few dried lavender buds on top.
  7. Enjoy immediately.

Notes

Do not oversteep lavender to avoid bitterness (max 5 minutes). Use fresh, good-quality honey for best flavor. Heat milk to about 150°F (65°C) for optimal frothing. If no frother, shake milk in a sealed jar or whisk vigorously. Warm your mug before serving to keep latte cozy longer.
