Iced Lavender Vanilla Lattes
Description
This latte starts with preparing a lavender vanilla syrup by simmering sugar, water, dried and fresh lavender, and a split vanilla bean until the sugar dissolves and flavors infuse. After cooling, the syrup is strained to remove solids and enhanced with vanilla extract, yielding a sweet, floral concentrate.
The latte is assembled by filling a glass with ice, stirring together milk and the syrup, then pouring in freshly brewed espresso shots. Stirred gently to combine, the beverage balances the creamy milk and aromatic syrup with the boldness of espresso.
Garnishing with a sprig of fresh lavender adds visual appeal and enhances the floral scent, making this beverage suitable for a refreshing, slightly sweetened coffee experience during warmer weather or as a special treat.
