Ingredients

1 shot espresso
1 cup milk
1-2 teaspoons lavender syrup

Instructions

Brew the espresso.
Add the syrup and espresso to a mug.
Steam and froth the milk so it’s hot and foamy. If your espresso machine has a frothing wand, you can use that, or you can use a milk frother or even do this with a whisk by hand on the stovetop.
Pour the hot milk and foam on top of the espresso and syrup.

Notes

You can use dairy milk or any milk alternative such as soy or oat milk in this recipe.

I use a store-bought lavender syrup. But if you want to make your own, here's how:

1/2 teaspoon dried lavender buds (make sure to buy food-grade)
2 cups granulated white sugar
1 cup water

Combine the water, sugar and lavender buds in a small pot on the stovetop. Simmer on medium heat, stirring for about 10 minutes, or until the sugar has completely dissolved. Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the buds from the syrup.
