1
Make the Lavender Syrup
In a small saucepan, combine the dried culinary lavender, water, and granulated sugar.
2
Boil the Mixture
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3
Simmer
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for about 15 minutes to allow the lavender flavor to infuse.
4
Strain the Syrup
Remove from heat and strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a clean container, discarding the lavender flowers.
5
Cool and Store
Let the syrup cool completely before using. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

6
Prepare the Espresso
Brew 2 shots of espresso using your preferred method (espresso machine, stovetop espresso maker, etc.).
7
Steam the Milk
In a separate container, steam 1 cup of milk until hot and frothy. If you don’t have a steamer, you can heat the milk on the stove or in the microwave and then froth it using a whisk or frother.
8
Combine Ingredients
In a large mug, pour the steamed milk over the brewed espresso. Add 2 tablespoons of the homemade lavender syrup.
9
Garnish
Stir gently to combine. Optionally, garnish with a couple of lavender sprigs for a beautiful presentation.

Enjoy your homemade lavender latte while warm!
