Lavender Simple Syrup
Ingredients:
- ¼ cup dried lavender
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup white sugar
Instructions:
Add water and lavender to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
Use a mesh strainer to separate the buds from the water.
In another saucepan combine the sugar with 2-3 tablespoons of the lavender water(just enough to wet the sugar). Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 4 minutes. Whisk occasionally.
Whisk the lavender water into the sugar mixture and store in the refrigerator!
Lavender Latte
Ingredients:
- ½ cup milk (I used whole)
- ⅔ cup Strong brewed coffee
- 2 Tablespoons Lavender simple syrup (more or less to personal liking)
Instructions:
Brew coffee and pour into the desired mug. Add simple syrup and stir.
Warm your milk on the stove or in the microwave and then froth. I used a $5 Ikea milk frother but pouring the milk into any kind of blender and blending for 30 seconds will also froth the milk for you.
Pour milk over top of coffee and syrup mixture and sprinkle with dried lavender…And Voila la la la…
