[…] coffee hot, or iced, I can make some foamy milk to go with it. I used this frother when I made my Honey Lavender Latte that I posted last […]
Last year, I started going to a new coffee shop near my house called Foxtail. They are a local chain and have some creative lattes. One that I tried a few months ago, was a honey vanilla latte. This was a seasonal drink and disappeared from the menu eventually. Since, I have been trying to make all of my coffee at home now, I came up with my own latte that’s even more delicious. I had a bottle of lavender simple syrup that I never used. So, I created a honey lavender latte with a creamy foam milk top (using my new milk frother) that’s better than any Starbucks drink.
This honey lavender latte only takes 4 ingredients and is super easy to make. You can make it hot, or iced depending on your mood. It only gets a bit complicated if you can’t easily find lavender simple syrup. But don’t worry, because I have an easy recipe for that as well, so you can always make your own. You can also always sub the lavender syrup for something else like hazelnut, rose, or caramel.
