Easy Lavender Iced Coffee
Subtly sweet and creamy iced coffee infused with lavender.
Ingredients
- 1/3 cup cooled strong brewed coffee or 1 shot of espresso
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon honey lavender syrup
- dried lavender buds optional, for garnish!!
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk or milk of choice
Honey Lavender Syrup
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender flowers or flowers removed from about 2 fresh lavender sprigs (see notes above for where to buy)
Instructions
- Start by making the honey lavender syrup. Whisk together the water and honey in a small saucepan on the stovetop until it just starts to boil. Then add in the dried lavender flowers. Cover and let sit for about 20 minutes. Filter out the lavender flowers through a strainer into a cup and set aside to cool. You can throw away the used lavender.
- If using a milk frother, add the almond milk, vanilla, and 1 1/2 tablespoons of honey lavender syrup to the milk in the frother. Froth it on the cold setting. (You can also blend all the ingredients together into a blender and it will froth, or use a hand frother linked above.)
- Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour cooled coffee or espresso over the ice. Add the frothed milk mixture on top of the coffee. Stir and then garnish with lavender buds, if desired. ENJOY!!
Notes
**This recipe will have leftover lavender syrup. You can use it in my lavender haze cocktail recipe which is so so good! The honey lavender syrup stays good for a month in an airtight container.
