Introducing Fabula's Lavender Breeze Oat Latte —a healthy, naturally sweetened, and refreshing coffee drink that combines the calming aroma of lavender with the creamy richness of oat milk. This drink is perfect for those warm spring days when you’re craving something cool, smooth, and energizing.
Why You’ll Love Lavender Breeze Oat Latte
While iced lavender oat milk lattes are a popular treat at cafes, the Lavender Breeze Oat Latte takes it a step further by being a healthier version, free from artificial syrups or excessive sugar. By using natural ingredients like honey and a light floral infusion of lavender, this recipe gives you the same delicious, aromatic experience but with fewer calories and more health benefits. Plus, oat milk provides a smooth, dairy-free creaminess that perfectly complements the coffee and lavender, making this drink the ideal spring pick-me-up.
Here’s What You’ll Need
- 1 cup freshly brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds (food-grade)
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional for natural sweetness)
- 1 cup oat milk (unsweetened for a healthier option)
- Ice cubes
- A few drops of vanilla extract (optional for added flavor)
- Fresh lavender sprig for garnish
AND HERE'S HOW TO MAKE IT...
1. Brew your coffee ahead of time and let it cool, or use cold brew for a smoother and less acidic flavor.
2. In a small saucepan, heat a few tablespoons of water and add the dried lavender buds. Simmer on low for about 3-5 minutes to infuse the water with the lavender essence.
3. Strain the lavender syrup through a fine mesh strainer to remove the buds, leaving just the lavender-infused water.
4. Add honey or maple syrup to the lavender syrup, adjusting to your sweetness preference.
5. Fill a glass with ice cubes, pour the cooled coffee over the ice, and add the lavender syrup to taste.
6. In a separate cup, froth the oat milk (you can heat it slightly if you prefer it warmed, or keep it chilled for a cool drink).
7. Pour the frothed oat milk into the coffee mixture, creating a beautiful layered effect.
8. Stir gently, add a few drops of vanilla extract if desired, and garnish with a fresh sprig of lavender.
