Lavender Matcha Latte
This calming Lavender Matcha Latte is a great way to start your day off on a cozy note. It's creamy, frothy, and dairy-free!
Ingredients
- ¼ tsp dried culinary lavender
- ¾ cup (180 ml) unsweetened almond milk preferably barista blend*
- 1 tsp ceremonial grade matcha
- 3 tbsp hot water
- ¼ tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1-1 ½ tbsp light agave nectar or honey
Instructions
- Using a mortar and pestle, grind the lavender into small dust-like pieces.
- Add the crushed lavender and almond milk to a small saucepan over medium heat. Let it come to a simmer, but don't boil it.
- Meanwhile, add the matcha and hot water to a small bowl. Use a bamboo whisk to quickly whisk back and forth in an M or W motion until foamy.
- Take the milk off the heat and pour in the matcha along with the vanilla extract and agave nectar (or honey).
- Use a handheld milk frother to whisk the latte until foamy. Pour into a mug and enjoy!
Notes
- Almond Milk: We recommend using a barista blend since they're better at frothing and don't have a "burnt" taste when heated. The texture is also thicker and richer than regular almond milk.
- For a smoother drink, sift the matcha before adding the hot water.
