As the days grow longer and the first signs of spring emerge, there's no better way to welcome the season than with a floral drink. A soothing lavender latte is the perfect balance of aromatic, creamy, and lightly sweet. Infused with the delicate essence of lavender, this latte is a celebration of brighter days ahead.
A Floral Twist on Your Daily Latte
For the perfect espresso base, we recommend using Pinnacles coffee, available in our alternative capsules. These 100% home-compostable capsules deliver a rich coffee with notes of mulled wine that complement the soft floral hints 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 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
- 2-3 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.
Pro tip: looking to make a larger quantity? Simply use a one-to-one ratio of sugar and water and adjust the lavender accordingly.
Bringing Spring to Your Cup
To assemble your lavender latte, pour your desired shots of espresso into your favourite cup (we recommend our new limited edition pastel collection). Stir in the lavender syrup, then top with steamed milk. For an extra pop of colour, sprinkle a few dried lavender buds on top.
This floral-infused drink is the perfect way to welcome spring with its light, fragrant, and indulgent profile. 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.
