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!

Iced Lavender Matcha Latte ### 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!
