    Bring the cafe home by making your own lavender lattes. A simple homemade lavender syrup means you can add as much or little sweetener as you like! Use your preferred milk to make a perfectly creamy dairy free coffee.

    Making fancy coffee drinks is so fun and simple, plus it is so much more affordable than buying them at cafes! While going out for fancy drinks is fun on the weekends, learning how to make them at home is a great way to save money during the week.

    This dreamy lavender latte is a simple and delicious recipe you can make at home with just a few ingredients and no fancy tools.

    Tools

    • coffee maker (espresso, AeroPress, or even a strong drip)
    • ice cube tray (if wanting iced)
    • milk steamer or a milk frother (if wanting warm)

    Ingredients

    Ingredients of lavender latte
    • Lavender syrup—I used this homemade 3 ingredient lavender syrup
    • Coffee—use a shot of your favourite espresso or strong coffee
    • Milk—I opted for oat milk, but use your favourite milk
    • Measuring spoons

    Method

    • Making coffee with an aeropress for a lavender latte
      Add coffee to your coffee maker of choice
    • Pouring water to steep coffee for a lavender latte
      Add just enough water to make a strong shot of coffee
    • Pressing down an aeropress to make coffee
      Let the coffee steep
    • Adding lavender syrup to strong coffee
      Add your lavender syrup
    • Adding Ice to Strong Coffee
      Ice if desired
    • Add hot or steamed milk

    Tips and Notes

    • If you make lavender syrup for this latte, try using in other drinks like an earl grey latte or a gin and soda. You can even use the syrup as a soak for cakes.
    • I like to use a creamy dairy free milk like soy or oat as I find almond milk not rich enough in a latte.
    • If you want to make an iced version a head of time, do not ice the espresso—instead combine the espresso, milk, and lavender syrup together and refrigerate until chilled.

    Substitutions

    • If you don't have an espresso maker, try using an AeroPress, Moka pot, or Keurig to make a shot. You can also make strong coffee with a French press or drip machine by just using less water. Alternatively, you can use some store bought cold brew.
    • If you want an iced version of this lavender latte, just poor the shot of coffee over ice and add cold milk.
    • For a hot lavender latte, warm your milk with a milk steamer, a microwave, or in a pot on the stove until warm but not boiling.
    • Opt for decaf coffee if you want a pre-bed latte!

    FAQ

    • use true lavender (also called English lavender) in this recipe as it is edible and best for baking. You can find it fresh (look for plants that haven't been sprayed to chemicals) or dry in herbalism stores or online.
    • if you don't want to make your own lavender syrup, cocktail stores often sell lavender simple syrup you can use instead.
