This Coconut Lavender Latte has become a little ritual for me, especially on lazy Sunday mornings.

Ingredients & Substitutions
I really love using culinary lavender for this recipe because it adds such a lovely floral aroma. If you can’t find it, you can use lavender essential oil, but be super careful with the amount. Just a drop can go a long way! As for the coconut milk, feel free to use homemade if you have the time – it’s so creamy and satisfying.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my dried lavender in a glass jar away from light - it helps maintain its flavor longer.
- •If you want a stronger lavender flavor, steep it a little longer, but be cautious not to overdo it.
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for a little extra warmth.
- •You can also try adding a bit of matcha for a twist on the latte – it’s a fun way to mix things up!
Storage & Freezing
This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for a day. Just give it a good shake before reheating!
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different milk?
Absolutely! Almond milk or oat milk works well too, but I find coconut milk gives it that creamy richness that’s hard to beat.
