Lavender Latte Recipe

0
Starting this chilly morning off with a Lavender Latte using lavender syrup that we’ve made ahead of time.  Lavender and mocha are heavenly together.  This latte is perfect for a day that you need to treat yourself to a relaxing morning.  This easy recipe is  uses calming lavender to make a homemade syrup and topped with a frothy cream.  You can always substitute your favourite oat milk or almond milk.
The key to cooking and baking with lavender is to use a good quality culinary lavender. There are many varietals of lavender and each has its own unique aroma and flavour.   Our favorites are coconut ice which has a light spearmint and tropical notes or hidcote which has a beautiful colour, especially making lavender syrup and a citrus flavour that highlights its floral notes.

How to make your latte

In a separate saucepan heat 1/4 cup of whole milk or other milk substitute.
