Ingredients
Iced Lavender Matcha Latte
- 1 ½ teaspoons green tea matcha powder
- ¼ cup hot water
- 1 tablespoon lavender simple syrup
- ¾ cup milk of your choice cows, almond, coconut, etc.
Lavender Simple Syrup
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 5 to 8 sprigs fresh lavender OR 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
Instructions
- Prepare the lavender syrup. Combine the sugar, water and lavender in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Boil for 2 minutes, turn off heat and let steep for 5 minutes. Optional: strain out lavender before storing.
- Whisk the matcha. Combine matcha powder in a small bowl with 1 tablespoon of the water. Whisk with matcha whisk until clumps dissolve and a thick paste forms. (See note if you do not have a matcha whisk). Add 2 more tablespoons of water, one at a time, whisking thoroughly after each addition to remove any clumps and build a little froth. Pour matcha liquid into serving glass and use remaining water to rinse out the bowl and add to glass.
- Build your latte. Stir in 1 tablespoon of lavender syrup and fill the glass with ice. Top with milk of your choice and swirl with a long spoon or straw to mix together. Sip and enjoy!
Notes
If you do not have a matcha whisk, you can still enjoy these Iced Lavender Matcha Lattes! Build the drink using a regular whisk, slowly adding the water in smaller batches. Alternatively, you can add all the ingredients to a single serve blender cup and blend until smooth and creamy.
