Can I make this latte dairy free?

Absolutely! Substitute dairy milk with almond, oat, or soy milk for a delicious dairy-free option. Each of these alternatives will provide a different flavor profile, ensuring your latte remains creamy and enjoyable.

How can I customize the sweetness?

Start with the amount of honey or syrup listed in the recipe. Taste your latte before adding more, as the flavors meld beautifully with time. Adjust according to your preference for sweetness.

What if I don't have lavender?

If you don't have lavender, you can skip it or try another aromatic herb like chamomile. While it won’t mimic the exact flavor, it can still impart a lovely fragrance and warmth to your latte.

How long can I store the cold foam?

The honey lavender cold foam can be stored in the refrigerator for about three days. Make sure to keep it in an airtight container to maintain its texture.

Can I serve this latte iced?

Yes! For a refreshing twist, you can serve this latte over ice. Just follow the recipe as directed and pour it over a glass filled with ice for a wonderful summer treat.

Instructions

Begin by brewing a cup of strong espresso using your espresso machine or coffee maker. Once brewed, set it aside to cool slightly.
In a small saucepan, combine fluffy whipped cream, savory honey, delicate lavender, and aromatic vanilla. Heat the mixture over low heat, stirring gently until combined and warm.
Use a milk frother to froth your milk until light and airy. If you don’t have a frother, you can vigorously whisk the milk in a bowl until frothy.
In each serving glass, combine the brewed espresso with the sweetener of your choice and a pinch of coarse salt. Pour the frothed milk over the espresso mixture.
Top your latte with the honey lavender whipped cream mixture, ensuring it is fluffy and generous.
Finish with an extra drizzle of honey and a sprinkle of coarse salt on top for added flavor and a beautiful finish.

Notes

Use fresh lavender for maximum flavor. For a nutty taste, consider almond milk as a smart swap.
