Dreamy Lavender Latte
Bring the cafe home by making your own lavender latte. 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.

Instructions
- Begin by making the coffee. You'll want a double shot of espresso or ⅔ of a cup strong coffee.2 shots espresso
- Next, heat the milk. Use your favourite method—steamer, microwave, or a stovetop. If you want an iced latte, skip this step and add cold milk to you glass, then top with some ice.1 cup hot milk

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 aloud 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.
