Follow these steps to make a refreshing iced lavender latte at home using homemade lavender simple syrup.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender buds
  • 2 shots espresso (about 2 ounces) or 4 ounces cold brew concentrate
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  1. Make the lavender simple syrup: Combine water, sugar, and dried lavender buds in a small saucepan.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Do not boil.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat, cover it, and let the lavender steep for 30 minutes.
  4. Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean jar, discarding the lavender buds. Let the syrup cool completely.
  5. Prepare the coffee: Brew two shots of espresso or measure 4 ounces of cold brew concentrate. Let the coffee cool slightly.
  6. Assemble the latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  7. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of the cooled lavender simple syrup to the glass, adjusting to your preferred sweetness.
  8. Pour the cooled espresso or cold brew over the syrup and ice.
  9. Top with 1 cup of your chosen milk.
  10. Stir gently before drinking.

Notes

  • For a vegan option, use oat milk or almond milk.
  • If you prefer a stronger floral taste, steep the lavender for 45 minutes.
  • You can store leftover lavender simple syrup in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • Use chilled espresso or cold brew for the best iced results.
