Iced Honeycomb Lavender Latte
Description
This latte uses cooled shots of espresso or strong coffee mixed with vanilla extract, honeycomb, and lavender simple syrup. The ice cubes chill the mixture while frothy milk poured on top provides a creamy contrast to the coffee’s boldness. Lavender syrup adds a distinctly floral flavor paired with the natural sweetness of honeycomb or honey. The drink is stirred gently before garnishing with lavender buds to complement the lavender flavor.
The Iced Honeycomb Lavender Latte is served immediately to retain the integrity of the frothy milk and the crisp coldness from ice. It can be enjoyed on its own or alongside light pastries. The honeycomb can be substituted with liquid honey, but the choice of organic and floral honey enhances the overall profile of the latte.
