Description
A creamy, calming lavender matcha latte recipe made with floral-infused milk and antioxidant-rich matcha. Perfect hot or iced, and fully customizable.
Ingredients
1–2 tsp matcha powder (culinary or ceremonial grade)
3/4 cup milk of choice (oat, almond, coconut, or whole milk)
1–2 tsp dried culinary lavender or lavender syrup
2 tbsp hot water (approx. 175°F)
1–2 tsp maple syrup or honey (optional)
Ice (for iced version)
Instructions
1. If using dried lavender, steep it in warmed milk for 5–7 minutes, then strain.
2. In a separate bowl, sift matcha powder to remove clumps.
3. Add hot water to the matcha and whisk until frothy using a chasen or frother.
4. Combine the lavender-infused milk (or syrup) with the matcha.
5. Add sweetener to taste.
6. Serve hot or pour over ice for an iced version.
7. Optional: Froth extra milk for foam and top the latte before serving.
Notes
Use ceremonial grade matcha for a smoother, more delicate flavor.
To make it dairy-free, use oat, almond, or coconut milk.
You can store leftover lavender milk in the fridge for up to 3 days.
For a café-style finish, top with dried lavender petals or foam.
