Welcome Spring with a Soothing Lavender Latte!

As the first blooms peek through the soil and sunlight begins to linger just a little longer, there’s no better way to welcome Spring than with a mug of floral comfort. This Lavender Latte—made with rich, dark coffee and a hint of homemade lavender syrup—is a calming, aromatic twist on your daily brew. It’s simple, soothing, and made for slow sips on cool mornings or gentle afternoons.

Let’s make Spring feel official—with just 4 easy steps.

What You’ll Need:

• 1/2 cup strong brewed dark roast coffee (French press, pour-over, or single-serve cup)

• 3/4 cup milk of choice (whole, oat, almond, etc.)

• 1–2 tbsp lavender simple syrup (recipe below)

• Optional: dried culinary lavender or honey for garnish

For Lavender Syrup (makes enough for several lattes):

• 1/2 cup water

• 1/2 cup sugar

• 1 tbsp dried culinary lavender

Step-by-Step: How to Make a Lavender Latte

Step 1: Make the Lavender Syrup

In a small pot, combine water, sugar, and dried lavender. Bring to a gentle simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Let it steep off the heat for 5–10 minutes, then strain out the lavender buds. Let cool and store in the fridge.

Tip: Make this ahead of time and keep it on hand for more spring-inspired drinks!

Step 2: Brew the Coffee

Brew 1/2 cup of dark roast coffee—bold and smooth to balance the delicate floral notes. French press or espresso-style works best for a concentrated, flavorful base.

Step 3: Steam or Froth the Milk

Warm your milk in a saucepan or microwave, then froth using a handheld frother, whisk, or jar shake. Aim for a velvety texture, not stiff foam—this latte is all about softness.

Step 4: Assemble and Sip

In your favorite mug, add 1–2 tablespoons of lavender syrup (to taste), then pour in the brewed coffee. Gently stir, then top with the frothed milk. Garnish with a sprinkle of dried lavender or a drizzle of honey if you’d like a little extra sweetness.

This lavender latte is a little floral hug in a mug—simple, balanced, and perfect for greeting Spring with intention. The dark roast gives it grounding depth, while the lavender lifts it gently, like a breeze through blooming fields.

Brew it, breathe it in, and welcome the season with calm joy.
