Preparation
Chef’s notes
Use culinary-grade lavender. Not all varieties of lavender are safe to be consumed, so please ensure to use culinary-grade dried lavender when making the lavender syrup.
Steam the milk properly. Be careful not to overheat the milk, which can cause it to scald and alter its flavor. You ideally want it to be hot but not boiling, between 150-160°F.
Adjust the strength/amount of lavender syrup to taste. As mentioned in the post about making homemade lavender syrup, everyone has their own preferences when it comes to the ratio of lavender to sweetener in their syrup. So feel free to experiment and adjust the strength of the lavender in the syrup — as well as the amount of syrup that you add to your latte — to taste.
Experiment with different espresso blends. A fruity light or medium roast espresso pairs best with the delicate floral flavor of lavender, but feel free to experiment with different espressos to find the pairing that you love best.
