Iced Lavender Matcha Latte
This stunning drink is not just a feast for the eyes, but it also boasts an aromatic experience with the calming notes of lavender paired with the earthy profile of matcha. It’s a great way to enjoy your green tea with a twist!
### Ingredients
- 1 tsp of matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup of milk (or your favorite non-dairy alternative)
- 1 tsp of culinary lavender (dried)
- 2 tsp of honey or sweetener of choice
- Ice cubes
- 1/2 cup of hot water
- Optional: edible flowers for garnish
Instructions
- Start by boiling about half a cup of water. Once it reaches a boil, remove it from heat and add the culinary lavender. Let it steep for about 5 to 10 minutes, allowing the lavender to infuse its beautiful flavor into the water.
- Strain the lavender water into a bowl or measuring cup to remove the flowers. Set this aside to cool.
- In a separate bowl, sift the matcha green tea powder to remove any lumps.
- Gradually add a little of the lavender-infused water to the matcha, whisking it well until you achieve a smooth paste. Once you have a smooth consistency, add the remaining lavender water and continue to whisk.
- In a glass, combine the chilled milk and honey (or your preferred sweetener). Mix well until combined.
- Fill the glass with ice and gently pour the matcha-lavender mixture over the milk. Stir gently to create a lovely swirl effect, but be careful not to mix it too much if you want that decorative layer look!
- For an extra touch, you can garnish the drink with some edible flowers or a sprinkle of matcha on top.
- Sip and enjoy this refreshing and calming drink!
This Iced Lavender Matcha Latte is not only a treat for the taste buds, but it also brings a sense of tranquility with each sip. It’s the perfect drink to enjoy in the afternoon sunshine or to serve at a gathering. Give it a try, and let the beautiful flavors take you on a little journey!
