Ingredients
-
1–2 teaspoons honey (adjust for desired sweetness)
-
1/2 teaspoon dried edible lavender
-
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
Double shot espresso using Nomad Blend – Crema Coffee Beans
-
Milk of your choice (whole milk recommended for extra creaminess)
Optional: Garnish with a dried lavender sprig or a light honey drizzle for a seasonal finishing touch.
How to Make It
STEP 1: Combine the Base Ingredients
In a small saucepan, mix 1/2 cup of honey with 1/2 cup of water. Stir over low heat until the honey is fully dissolved.
STEP 2: Infuse the Lavender Flavor
Add 2 tablespoons of edible lavender and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract to the mixture. Stir gently to blend the flavors.
STEP 3: Steep and Strain
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture steep for 30 minutes. Once steeped, strain out the lavender buds and set the syrup aside to cool.
STEP 4: Pull the Espresso
Brew a double shot of espresso using Crema’s Nomad Blend. The rich, balanced notes of this blend complement the floral sweetness perfectly.
STEP 5: Steam Your Milk
Steam your preferred milk—whole milk is recommended for a creamy texture. You’ll want it warm and velvety for the smoothest pour.
STEP 6: Build Your Latte
Add 1–2 tablespoons of the honey lavender syrup into your cup. Pour in the freshly brewed espresso, followed by the steamed milk. Garnish with a pinch of edible lavender for a delicate spring finish.
