Iced Lavender Latte (using dried lavender leaves)
Ingredients
Scale
Coffee beans for double shot espresso (2 scant Tbsp for my machine, but each machine may vary)
1/2 tsp dried lavender leaves (to preference, use 3/4–1 tsp for strong or decrease to 1/4 for very mild)
1–2 Tbsp maple syrup, to preference
6 oz whole grass-fed milk, to preference
Ice
Instructions
- Grind up the dried lavender leaves with the coffee beans to make a double shot of espresso.
- Brew a double shot of espresso into a small mug.
- Fill a 14-16oz cup 3/4 of the way with ice. Pour the lavender espresso shot over the ice then add the maple syrup and milk. Stir it up well because the maple syrup will fall to the bottom. Enjoy!
- If you don’t have an espresso machine: Although I haven’t tried this with other methods, I believe it should still work for regular drip coffee or French press etc. Just grind up the lavender leaves with the amount of coffee beans you would use to make an 8 oz cup of coffee.
