Recipe: Iced Lavender Latte
Since most of us are all safe at home these days, it is probably best if you are staying in and making your coffee at home. If you’re like me, you definitely have a FAVORITE type of coffee or tea you love to order from your local coffee shop. It’s pretty easy to recreate your own and you’re in luck because I’m sharing an easy at home iced lavender latte recipe for you! It’s my go to latte. I’ll admit it, I’m a coffee snob. And up until recently I was visiting a coffee shop everyday getting the same old boring order and throwing my money away wishing I was still in LA having an iced almond milk latte from Alfred. Having lived in LA with many different coffee shops to choose from also came unique drinks that added a little twist to your regular latte. In came the “Arroyo” from Civil Coffee in Highland Park. Why I didn’t try this as soon as I moved into the neighborhood I’ll never know!! Fast forward to moving back across the country and desperately in search of a Lavender Latte in my hometown, I was sadly disappointed. No one had heard of such a thing. I’d like to think I put that in their mind and last February a cute little coffee shop in town started offering a lavender latte. While it is amazing and tastes just as magical as the one in LA, I couldn’t help but think how much money I’d save if I made this at home. I did my research and I’m here to share it with you. You’re welcome ;) Here’s what you’ll need:
Ground Espresso - I use Cafe Bustelo or Starbucks.
Bialetti Moka Cafe - For use on gas or electric stove top.
Almond Milk - I use Califia Farms Unsweetened.
Sugar - If needed, I prefer Sugar in the Raw.
Ice
