Lavender Honey Latte

A lavender honey latte sounds like it might be the most relaxing drink on the planet – and you’d be right! It starts with that mellow fragrance of lavender, the silkiness of milk, and the sweetness of honey to top it all off. The nutty flavor of coffee is perfectly complemented by the floral, astringent, and earthy lavender nodes. The honey also helps to caramelize the lavender and render a very luxurious flavor combination. This is definitely a drink to kick back and relax.

 
The recipe is as simple it gets. All you need to have is your favorite coffee ready to brew, and your preferred milk of choice.
