This Lavender Honey Latte brings together the comforting flavors of espresso, warm milk, and the subtle floral sweetness of lavender. Tumalo Lavender Simple Syrup or Tumalo Lavender Honey makes it super easy to create a coffeehouse-quality drink at home.

Ingredients:

• 1 shot of espresso (or ½ cup of strong brewed coffee)
• 1-2 tablespoons Tumalo Lavender Simple Syrup or Tumalo Lavender Honey (adjust to taste)
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
• ¾ cup milk (or any milk alternative like almond, oat, or soy)
• Dried lavender buds or cinnamon (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Espresso: Brew your espresso using an espresso machine, stovetop espresso maker, or make strong brewed coffee if you don’t have an espresso maker.

2. Sweeten the Coffee: Stir in 1-2 tablespoons of Tumalo Lavender Simple Syrup to the hot espresso or coffee. If you want an extra touch of sweetness, add a teaspoon of honey and stir until fully dissolved.

3. Steam the Milk: In a small saucepan, gently heat the milk until it's steaming but not boiling. You can also use a milk frother to steam and froth the milk for that luxurious coffee shop texture.

4. Combine: Pour the steamed milk over the sweetened espresso mixture. If you have frothed milk, use a spoon to scoop the foam on top of the latte.

5. Garnish and Serve: For an extra aromatic touch, garnish with a sprinkle of dried lavender buds or a dash of cinnamon. Serve hot and enjoy the fragrant, cozy flavors.

Optional Iced Version:

• For a refreshing Iced Lavender Honey Latte, brew the espresso and let it cool. Add Tumalo Lavender Simple Syrup and honey, then pour over ice. Top with cold milk or a milk alternative, stir, and enjoy!

Tips:

• Experiment with the syrup quantity to find your ideal balance between floral and sweet.
• If you prefer a dairy-free option, oat milk works wonderfully with the lavender flavor.

This Lavender Honey Latte is a simple, elegant way to incorporate Tumalo Lavender Simple Syrup into your coffee, adding a calming and aromatic twist to your mornings or afternoons.
