Ingredients

  • Espresso or strong brewed coffee (1 shot (about 1 ounce))
  • Lemon zest (1 teaspoon)
  • Honey (1 tablespoon (adjust to taste))
  • Dried lavender buds (1 tablespoon)
  • Milk (whole, almond, or oat) (1 cup)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium-low heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent scalding.
  2. Add the dried lavender buds to the hot milk. Reduce the heat to low and let steep for about 5 minutes, allowing the lavender to infuse its flavor.
  3. After steeping, strain the lavender-infused milk through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container to remove the lavender buds.
  4. Stir in the honey and lemon zest until well combined. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary.
  5. Brew a shot of espresso or prepare strong brewed coffee as per your preference.
  6. In a mug, pour the lavender-infused milk and gently add the espresso or coffee on top, allowing the layers to meld beautifully.
  7. Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of dried lavender buds or a twist of lemon peel for an added touch of elegance.
  8. Enjoy your soothing Limburg Lavender Latte, perfect for sipping slowly while relaxing or sharing with friends!
