Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces strong brewed coffee, chilled espresso or dark roast recommended
  • 2 tablespoons lavender honey store-bought or homemade
  • 1/2 cup milk of your choice dairy or non-dairy like almond, oat, or soy
  • 1/4 teaspoon culinary lavender buds, dried optional, for garnish
  • ice cubes
  • 1 tablespoon heavy cream or whipped cream optional, for topping

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Strainer
  • Tall serving glass

Method
 

  1. Start by brewing your preferred coffee. For the best flavor, aim for a strong brew, such as a double shot of espresso or a dark roast coffee. Once brewed, allow the coffee to cool completely. For optimal results, brew your coffee ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator. This ensures your iced coffee won't be watered down by melting ice too quickly.

  2. If you're using store-bought lavender honey, ensure it's at room temperature so it can easily dissolve. If you're making your own, combine 1/2 cup of honey with 1 tablespoon of dried culinary lavender buds in a small saucepan. Gently warm over low heat for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the honey is infused with the lavender aroma. Do not boil. Strain out the lavender buds and let the infused honey cool before using.

  3. In your tall serving glass, add the chilled brewed coffee. Then, spoon in the lavender honey. The amount of honey can be adjusted to your personal preference for sweetness.

  4. Pour in your milk of choice. Whether you prefer the richness of whole milk, the lightness of almond milk, or the creamy texture of oat milk, select the one that best suits your taste. Stir the coffee, lavender honey, and milk together thoroughly until the honey is completely dissolved and the ingredients are well incorporated.
