A Lavender Latte is a relaxing way to start your day or the perfect, soothing afternoon time-out treat.

This one is for my friend, Lindsay, who loves lavender.  She shared her insight on this popular herb and its rising popularity in the cooking world.  Come share one with me soon!! 🙂

Have a wonderful day!!

Ingredients: 
Serves one

• 2 oz espresso or really strong coffee
• 5 oz milk
• 1 T lavender simple syrup

Directions:

• Add espresso to a coffee cup.  Set aside.
• If you have a frother, use it to froth the milk.  If you don’t have a frother you can use a blender.  Add milk and lavender syrup to blender and blend on high for 30 seconds or until very frothy.  Pour into a 2 cup glass measuring cup and heat in the microwave for 45 seconds or until desired hotness.  Watch closely because froth will continue to rise in microwave.  Make sure it doesn’t overflow.
• Pour frothy milk into mug with espresso and enjoy!!
