Vegan Lavender Latte

Morgan James Eckroth
I indulge in this latte when I’m feeling a bit too “Portlandia” for my own good. Whether it’s to unwind after a busy shift or to reward myself for not giving in to that tempting, mediocre store-bought latte, this drink is my ticket to pure bliss. Lavender lattes: my self-care secret weapon.

Ingredients
  

  • 1 shot of espresso or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee
  • 1/2 cup almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon lavender syrup
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried culinary lavender
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract optional for extra depth

Instructions
 

  • Brew the Espresso: Prepare a shot of espresso or strong coffee. You can use your espresso machine or any method that gives you a bold, robust flavor.
  • Heat the Almond Milk: Pour almond milk into a small saucepan. Add dried lavender. Heat over medium heat until warm but not boiling, stirring occasionally.
  • Infuse the Lavender: Allow the dried lavender to steep in the almond milk for about 3 minutes. This is where the magic happens—your kitchen will smell like a dream.
  • Froth the Milk: Once the milk is infused and warmed, use a milk frother to create a frothy top. If you don’t have a frother, a whisk will do, though it may require more elbow grease.
  • Combine Ingredients: Pour the lavender syrup into your mug. Add the espresso shot. Gently pour the frothed almond milk on top.
  • Add Vanilla (Optional): For an extra layer of sophistication, add a splash of vanilla extract. Stir gently to combine all the flavors.
  • Serve and Savor: Enjoy your latte with a satisfied smirk. You’re now officially the coolest person with the most calming drink in town.
