Iced Lavender Latte
Serving Size: 1 person
DESCRIPTION
Using this homemade lavender syrup as the sweetener gives your summer mornings a pronounced floral flavor. It’s unique, soothing, and yet a perfect herb to compliment a cold and creamy coffee.
INGREDIENTS
COLD BREW COFFEE CONCENTRATION
- 4 ounces ground coffee
- 4 cups water
LAVENDER ICED COFFEE
- 2 tablespoon Lavender Simple Syrup
- ¾ cups cold brewed coffee
- ¼ cup oat milk or another plant-based milk
- Ice as needed
METHOD
COFFEE PREP
- Combine water and coffee together in a wide mouth mason jar. Seal the lid to the mason jar and refrigerate for 20 to 24 hours. (Ratio: for every 1 cup water, there is 1 ounce ground coffee).
- After steeping your coffee, strain it using a coffee strainer or steel metal strainer. Store the coffee concentration in the refrigerator for days and use as needed. You can also use a French press for this process.
ASSEMBLE
- Pour your cold brew coffee into a glass over ice. Leave at least ¼th room in your glass for the milk.
- Add the lavender syrup. (Add more or less according to taste).
- Top your drink off with oat milk. Stir before tasting.
NOTES
Note: If you want your drink to look extra pretty, froth your milk first. When you do this, the milk foam sits on top of the coffee and that looks really beautiful in photos. Personally, I use a milk frother to create my milk foam. If you don't have a frother, don't fret! You can also froth your milk using your trusty old french press. Just pour the cold milk into the french press and pump away to aerate the milk.
You can also garnish the top of the foam with dried lavender buds.
I used an electric milk Frother to froth the oat milk in a separate cup before pouring over the coffee. This is more for presentation than taste; so completely optional.
