Scale
Ingredients
For the Lavender Honey Syrup:
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup organic cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon dried lavender
- 1/3 cup honey
For the Iced Matcha Lattes (Makes 2):
- 2 teaspoons matcha powder
- 2 cups unsweetened milk of choice (I recommend almond here)
- 2 tablespoons lavender honey
Instructions
- Make the syrup. Whisk together the water, sugar, honey, and lavender in a small pot. Bring the syrup to a simmer and simmer 5 minutes, dissolving the sugar. Remove from the heat and let the lavender steep in the syrup for about 30 minutes. Strain the lavender through a fine mesh strainer and let the syrup cool. Store the syrup in a clean mason jar in the refrigerator. The syrup will keep several weeks.
- For the lattes, blend the matcha powder, milk, and lavender honey in a high-speed blender until combined. Pour over ice, and enjoy!
Notes
You will have plenty of lavender honey syrup left over for future iced matcha lattes! You can also use this syrup in cocktails, iced coffee, or drizzled over fresh fruit.
