A dairy-free, creamy iced latte with floral lavender syrup and oat milk, perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up or cozy café ritual at home.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) freshly brewed espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee
  • 1 cup (240 ml) oat milk, preferably barista-style
  • 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lavender syrup (homemade or store-bought)
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup or 240 ml)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon sugar, honey, or maple syrup (optional, for sweetness)

Instructions

  1. Make the Lavender Syrup (if homemade): In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup (240 ml) water and 1 cup (200 g) sugar. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, add 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender. Remove from heat, cover, and let steep for 15 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a jar. Let cool completely before use.
  2. Brew the Espresso or Strong Coffee: Pull two shots of espresso (about 60 ml / 2 fl oz) or prepare 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong coffee using freshly ground beans.
  3. Fill Your Glass with Ice: Add enough ice to fill about 3/4 of your serving glass (around 1 cup or 240 ml).
  4. Add the Lavender Syrup: Pour 2 tablespoons (30 ml) lavender syrup over the ice. Adjust sweetness to taste if desired.
  5. Pour the Espresso Over the Ice and Syrup: The hot espresso hitting the cold ice creates a layering effect.
  6. Add Oat Milk: Slowly pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold oat milk over the espresso mixture.
  7. Optional – Add Vanilla and Sweetener: Stir in 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon sweetener if desired.
  8. Give It a Final Stir: Use a spoon or straw to gently stir the latte, blending flavors without losing the ice’s chill.
  9. Serve Immediately: Enjoy the drink while icy cold and fresh.
