Lavender Oat Milk Latte (Printable)

Creamy oat milk meets espresso and lavender for a soothing, dairy-free latte, perfect for relaxing moments.

# What You Need:

→ Lavender Syrup

01 - 1/4 cup water
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds

→ Latte

04 - 2 shots (2 oz) espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
05 - 2 cups oat milk
06 - 2–3 tablespoons lavender syrup, to taste
07 - Ice, optional, for iced latte

# How-To:

01 - Combine water, granulated sugar, and lavender buds in a small saucepan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring to ensure sugar dissolves. Simmer for 2 minutes and remove from heat. Allow syrup to steep for 5 minutes before straining out lavender buds. Let cool completely.
02 - Prepare fresh espresso shots or brew strong coffee according to preference.
03 - Warm oat milk in a saucepan or froth using a milk frother until hot and foamy. For an iced latte, use chilled oat milk.
04 - Add lavender syrup to a mug or glass. Pour in the espresso or coffee, then top with oat milk. Stir gently to integrate flavors.
05 - For an iced latte, add ice cubes prior to pouring in espresso and oat milk.
06 - Optionally garnish with a dash of dried lavender buds or a twist of lemon zest.
