My lavender plants are finally blooming! They're just teensy little plants, only got planted last fall and you know how obsessed I am with lavender so it's SUPER exciting. It's only fitting that my caffeinated beverage of choice this morning is an iced lavender vanilla coconut milk latte.
Quick, simple, and oh so delicious! This recipe is pretty much exactly the same as my iced vanilla latte with two major changes.
First, the addition of lavender buds or lavender extract in the simple syrup.
Second, I switched out the skim milk with coconut milk. I like to add it to my regular morning cup of coffee so why not try it in a latte?? I was very pleasantly surprised that it worked wonderfully with the subtle lavender flavor.
That's it! Just two switcheroos and you've got yourself a tasty chilled summer morning beverage! Recipe below 😎.
