Lavender Oat Milk Latte (Printable)

Creamy oat milk, floral lavender, and rich espresso unite for a soothing, vegan-friendly beverage.

# What You'll Need:

→ Lavender Syrup

01 - 1/4 cup water
02 - 1/4 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds

→ Latte

04 - 2 shots (2 oz) espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
05 - 2 cups oat milk
06 - 2–3 tablespoons lavender syrup
07 - Ice (optional)

# How To Make It:

01 - In a small saucepan, combine water, granulated sugar, and dried lavender buds. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely. Continue to simmer for 2 minutes, then remove from heat. Allow to steep for 5 minutes. Strain out lavender buds using a fine mesh strainer and set the syrup aside to cool.
02 - Prepare 2 shots of espresso or brew 1/2 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method.
03 - Warm oat milk in a saucepan over medium heat or froth using a milk frother until hot and foamy. For an iced version, use cold oat milk without heating.
04 - Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of lavender syrup to a mug or glass. Pour in the espresso or coffee, followed by the oat milk. Stir gently to blend flavors.
05 - If serving iced, place ice cubes in the glass before pouring in the espresso and oat milk.
06 - Garnish with a sprinkle of dried lavender buds or a twist of lemon zest for a decorative touch.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Lavender brings a peaceful, spa-like vibe without leaving your kitchen.
  • The oat milk transforms the latte into a silky, vegan treat that's satisfying and gentle on the stomach.
02 -
  • If the lavender syrup steeps too long, the flavor turns bitter instead of delicate—watch your timer!
  • Using barista-style oat milk creates extra foam and a velvety layer, so don't settle for the thin stuff.
03 -
  • Steep the lavender with intent—too little time and you miss the bouquet, too much and bitterness sneaks in.
  • A touch of lemon zest on top gives a bright finish that balances the floral sweetness.
