Print Recipe

A soothing and refreshing iced latte featuring subtle floral notes from lavender-infused honey, balanced with creamy vanilla cold foam. Perfect for a calming mid-afternoon treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 shots (60 ml) fresh espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1 cup (240 ml) whole milk or milk alternative (almond, oat, soy)
  • 1 tablespoon (15 ml) raw honey
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • 1 teaspoon (5 ml) pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream or full-fat coconut cream
  • Ice cubes (about 1 cup/240 ml)

Instructions

  1. In a small saucepan, combine 1 tablespoon honey with 1 teaspoon dried lavender buds. Warm gently over low heat for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and let cool for about 10 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove lavender buds.
  2. Prepare 2 shots (60 ml) espresso or 1/2 cup (120 ml) strong brewed coffee. Let cool to room temperature or chill in fridge for 5-10 minutes.
  3. In a serving glass, combine cooled coffee with lavender-infused honey. Stir well to dissolve honey.
  4. Fill the glass with ice cubes (about 1 cup/240 ml). Pour 1 cup (240 ml) cold milk over the ice and coffee mixture. Stir gently to combine.
  5. In a small bowl or frothing pitcher, combine 1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream or coconut cream with 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Whip with a handheld frother or whisk until soft peaks form and mixture thickens to creamy foam (1-2 minutes).
  6. Spoon the vanilla cold foam generously over the iced latte.
  7. Serve immediately with a straw or spoon.

Notes

Do not overheat honey to avoid bitterness. Use cold coffee and milk to prevent ice melting and dilution. Whip cream until soft peaks form for best foam texture. Chilling the glass beforehand helps keep the drink colder longer. For vegan version, use oat milk and coconut cream.
