Equipment

1 1 Quart Saucepan
1 Fine Mesh Strainer
1 Matcha Bowl and Whisk or hand-held milk frother!
Measuring Cups and Spoons
1 Large Serving Glass

Ingredients

For the Lavender Syrup

1 Cup Sugar
1 Cup Water
4 teaspoon Dried Lavender Flowers see note!

For the Latte

1 teaspoon Matcha Powder
¼ Cup Boiling Water
½ Cup Oat Milk
1 tablespoon Lavender Syrup

Instructions

Make the Lavender Syrup

In a 1-quart saucepan, combine sugar, water and dried lavender flowers. Place the pan over medium heat and cook, stirring occasionally until the mixture boils. Allow it to boil for 1 minute.
1 Cup Sugar, 1 Cup Water, 4 teaspoon Dried Lavender Flowers
Remove the syrup from heat and place a lid on the pot. Allow the lavender to steep for 15 minutes.
Remove the lid and pour the mixture into a container through a fine mesh strainer. Use the back of a spoon to press the flowers to release any liquid they are holding onto. Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.

Make the Latte

Add the matcha powder to a matcha bowl. Pour the boiling water over the matcha and use a matcha whisk to whisk the mixture until its well combined and frothy, about 1 minute. See note.
1 teaspoon Matcha Powder, ¼ Cup Boiling Water
In a large glass filled with ice, combine the oat milk and lavender syrup. Stir to combine, then pour the whisked matcha on top. Stir once more, and serve!
½ Cup Oat Milk, 1 tablespoon Lavender Syrup

Notes

Be sure your lavender flowers are culinary grade. There should be no added flavors or fragrances.

If you don't have a matcha bowl and whisk, use a small glass and a hand-held milk frother to whisk the matcha with the hot water.

You can also make this recipe into a hot Lavender Matcha Latte! Simply warm and froth the oat milk with the lavender syrup instead of pouring it over ice.
