As the days grow longer and the first signs of spring emerge, there's no better way to welcome the season than with a soothing floral latte. A lavender latte is the perfect balance of aromatic, creamy, and lightly sweet – a warm embrace in a cup. Infused with the delicate essence of lavender, this latte is a refreshing way to transition into brighter days ahead.
A Floral Twist on Your Daily Latte
For the perfect espresso base, we recommend using Halō’s Alternative Pinnacles capsules. These 100% home-compostable capsules deliver a rich, full-bodied espresso that complements the soft floral notes of lavender beautifully. The result? A café-worthy lavender latte made right at home.
How to Make a Lavender Latte
Creating a lavender latte at home is easier than you think. You'll need:
- 1- 2 Halō Alternative Pinnacles capsules
- 200ml steamed milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 15ml lavender-infused simple syrup (see recipe below or source locally)
- Dried lavender for garnish (optional)
Lavender-Infused Simple Syrup Recipe
If you can’t find a high-quality lavender syrup at your local shop, it’s easy to make your own at home:
- 250ml water
- 250g sugar
- 2 tbsp dried culinary lavender
- In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, and lavender.
- Bring to a light simmer while stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved.
- Remove from heat and let steep (15-20 minutes).
- Strain out the lavender and store the syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks.
Bringing Spring to Your Cup
To assemble your lavender latte, pull a shot of Alternative Pinnacles espresso into your favourite cup. Stir in the lavender syrup, then top with steamed milk. For an extra touch of elegance, sprinkle a few dried lavender buds on top.
This floral-infused delight is the perfect way to welcome spring—light, fragrant, and indulgent. Whether you’re sipping it slowly in the morning sun or winding down in the evening, a lavender latte is a seasonal treat worth savouring.
Enjoy the new season, one sip at a time.
