Ingredients you need

Four simple ingredients are required for making a delicious honey lavender latte.

Oat Milk – Oat milk has the perfect texture and flavor to make exciting and delicious coffee creations!

Remember to opt for a barista-style oat milk for the best results. Choosing plant-based milk just feels like a fitting way to celebrate even more fresh-grown flavors, but traditional whole milk, almond milk, or lactose-free milk are great substitutes.

Lavender Syrup – The light, aromatic, and floral flavor of lavender is so fresh and delicious when paired with perfectly brewed coffee and oat milk! Bring this vibrant flavor to your coffee with lavender syrup. Look for this ingredient in the baking or coffee aisle of your local grocery store or online.

If you love everything homemade, you can make this simple syrup from scratch! Pick some fresh lavender from your home garden, wash it, and then boil it with two parts water to one part sugar until a nice syrup forms. Strain out the lavender and keep the syrup in the fridge for up to 1 month.

Honey – Use your favorite honey for this latte, but check the label to see what flowers the bees have been exposed to. This will add delicious fruity and floral notes to your drink, so it can be fun to know where the honey came from!

Espresso – Espresso is the key to any great latte. Choose your favorite brand and blend, but be sure that you either have a coffee grinder or ask to have your espresso ground to ‘extra-fine.’

Dried Lavender – This is the perfect colorful garnish for this sweet oat milk honey latte. You can find this in stores or save clippings from your own lavender plants and dry them in the sun to make the most of your edible harvest.

How To Make Honey Lavender Latte From Scratch

Warm the Milk – Using a small saucepan or microwave, heat the milk to the ideal temperature for frothing. Be careful not to overheat the milk; you should have a food thermometer handy to help you nail the perfect milk temperature. Once the milk is warm, stir in the honey.

Brew the Espresso – Next, use your favorite method to brew the espresso. A few easy and reliable ways to make the perfect espresso at home include the Aeropress, French, press, or filtered coffee brewer if you don’t have or don’t wanna use an espresso machine.

Add the Flavor – Add the lavender syrup to the coffee and top it off with warm milk. You can opt to froth the milk using a steam wand, milk frother, or French press; this adds a textural touch to the drink that can be very elegant!

Garnish and Enjoy – Sprinkle the top of the oat milk latte with the dried lavender and enjoy your perfectly crafted flower-infused coffee!

Important Barista Tips

The ideal milk temperature for frothing is 131 °F – 149 °F (55 °C – 65 °C).
To prevent the honey from settling in the glass, mix the warm milk and honey in advance.
When using alternative milk, remember that “barista” milk gives you the best quality, flavor, and texture for latte making.
Make your cafe creation turn heads by sprinkling the dried lavender on top. Plus, this helps develop a tantalizing lavender flavor!
When life gets hectic, this delicious latte can save the day! Both honey and lavender can help reduce stress, so take a sip of this garden-inspired drink and let the good feelings bloom!
Filtered water does not calcify the coffee equipment, giving the coffee a much better taste.
