Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2 shots espresso (or 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee)
  • 1 cup milk (whole, oat, almond, or your favorite)
  • 1–2 teaspoons honey, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon culinary dried lavender (food-grade only)
  • 1/8 teaspoon rose water (or 1/4–1/2 teaspoon rose syrup)
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for roundness)
  • Pinch of fine sea salt (optional, boosts flavor)
  • Dried rose petals (optional garnish, food-grade)

Method
 

  1. Warm the milk base: In a small saucepan, combine milk, honey, lavender, vanilla, and a tiny pinch of salt. Heat over low until steaming, 3–5 minutes. Don’t boil.
  2. Infuse and strain: Remove from heat and let the lavender steep for 2–4 minutes. Taste. If floral notes are where you want them, strain out the lavender with a fine sieve.
  3. Add rose: Stir in rose water (start small) or rose syrup. Rose intensifies quickly, so build slowly.
  4. Brew coffee: Pull 2 shots of espresso or brew strong coffee. Pour into a mug.
  5. Froth the milk: Whisk vigorously, use a handheld frother, or shake the hot milk in a heat-safe jar with the lid on for 20–30 seconds.
  6. Assemble: Pour the infused milk over the espresso. Spoon foam on top. Taste and adjust honey or rose if needed.
  7. Garnish: Add a few crushed dried rose petals or a tiny pinch of lavender on top for aroma (optional).
