Servings 4 servings

Ingredients

2 cups oat milk preferably unsweetened for better control of sweetness
1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender for infusion
1 tablespoon honey or agave syrup adjust sweetness to taste
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract for enhanced flavor
1 cup strong brewed espresso or strong coffee
1/4 cup water for steeping the lavender
1 pinch sea salt to balance flavors
1 fresh lavender sprigs for garnish

Instructions

In a small saucepan, combine the water and dried culinary lavender. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, then reduce to low and let it steep for about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture to remove the lavender flowers and set aside the lavender-infused water.
In a separate saucepan, heat the oat milk over medium-low heat until warm but not boiling. Stir in the honey or agave syrup, vanilla extract, and pinch of sea salt. Mix well until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
Brew the espresso or strong coffee while the oat milk is warming. Once brewed, pour the espresso into a large mug or glass.
Combine the lavender-infused water with the brewed espresso. Slowly pour the warm oat milk mixture over the espresso, allowing it to mix gently. You may froth the oat milk before pouring for added texture.
Garnish with fresh lavender sprigs on top for an aromatic finish. Enjoy your Lavender Oat Milk Latte while warm!

Notes

Tip 1: Use culinary lavender to ensure it's safe for consumption.
Tip 2: Store any leftover lavender-infused water in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Variation: Add a splash of almond extract for a nutty flavor twist.
