Lavender Latte - A delicious and original recipe !

Hey steemers!

The winter is well set up with its capricious weather and rainy days, but it also inspires us to enjoy soft and comforting drinks like the lavender latte.

An original recipe this recipe but also great trend because this lavender latte will allow you to offer something else to your guests than the traditional coffee or hot chocolate at the end of meal or for the brunch the next day when the cold is felt ... Success guaranteed!

For lavender syrup:

• ¼ cup dried lavender
• ½ cup sugar
• ½ cup + 3 tablespoons water

For the lavender latte:

• 1 small cup of strong coffee
• ¼ cup milk (or vegetable milk of your choice)
• 2 tablespoons of lavender syrup (recipe below)
  Dried lavender for garnish (optional)
  

Here is how to make the lavander syrup!

Add ½ cup water and ¼ cup lavender to a saucepan, bring to a boil. Simmer for about 3 minutes, then remove from heat and let steep for 20 minutes. Filter the flowers and discard them.

In a clean saucepan, add ½ cup of sugar and 3 tablespoons of water. Bring to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Let simmer 3 to 4 minutes, then incorporate the lavender liquid. Whisk until mixture is complete, remove from heat and allow to cool. Transfer to a storage container and store in refrigerator.

Preparation for the Lavender Latte

Place the milk in a microwave-safe jar and heat for about 30 seconds, until the mixture is hot. Screw the lid firmly into the jar and shake for a few seconds, until the milk is frothy. Place 2 tablespoons of lavender syrup in a cup. Pour the hot coffee over the syrup. Garnish with dried lavender if desired.

My little advice is to not hesitate to adjust the quantities of ingredients as needed. Use more or less syrup, milk and coffee to suit your tastes.
