Vanilla Lavender Latte
Description
The Vanilla Lavender Latte combines freshly brewed hot coffee or espresso with milk gently heated alongside lavender buds, scraped seeds from a vanilla bean, and optional honey for a touch of sweetness. After heating the milk mixture to a simmer and letting it steep to release floral and vanilla aromas, it is strained to remove lavender solids. Pouring the infused milk over the coffee creates a smooth, aromatic latte. Frothed milk can be used to add a creamy texture if desired. Garnishing with lavender buds emphasizes the floral theme and adds a subtle visual appeal.
This latte offers a fragrant twist on the classic coffee and milk combination. Its balance of herbal floral notes with vanilla’s richness provides a calming taste experience, making it suitable for relaxing moments or afternoon enjoyment. The use of culinary grade lavender ensures the flavor is safe and pleasant without bitterness.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coffee hot, or espresso
- 1/2 cup milk low fat is perfect (use almond or soy milk for vegan)

- 1/2 vanilla bean
- 1 tsp honey optional
garnish
- lavender buds

Instructions
- Heat the milk, lavender, seeds of the vanilla bean, and honey (if using) either in the microwave or on the stove, just until it comes to a simmer. Let sit for 5 minutes, then strain.
- Pour hot coffee into a mug, then top with the hot milk. I like to froth the milk before I add it, but that's your choice.
- Garnish with a few lavender buds and enjoy.
