Honey Lavender Frozen Latte
Sun melting your brain? Forget expensive coffee runs. This frozen latte fights heat like a tiny, delicious snowman army. Your blender is the general. Let’s draft some troops.
What This Recipe Does
This recipe makes a cold coffee drink. It blends strong coffee, milk, honey, and lavender. Ice creates a thick, slushy texture. It tastes sweet, floral, and very refreshing. It feels fancy but needs little work.
You Need These Things
- Coffee: 1 cup strong brewed coffee (cold)
- Milk: 1 cup milk (any kind works)
- Honey: 2 tablespoons honey (see note below)
- Lavender: 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds (important: use food-safe lavender!)
- Ice: 2 cups ice cubes
Do This Now
- Make Lavender Honey: Combine honey and lavender buds in a small bowl. Stir them well. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes. This lets the lavender flavor soak into the honey.
- Strain Lavender: Pour the honey mixture through a fine strainer into your blender. Press the lavender buds to get all the honey. Discard the used lavender buds.
- Add Other Things: Put the cold coffee, milk, and ice cubes into the blender with the lavender honey.
- Blend Everything: Put the lid on your blender. Blend everything on high speed. Blend until the mixture looks smooth and slushy. Stop blending when no big ice chunks remain.
- Pour and Drink: Pour the frozen latte into glasses. Drink it immediately. It tastes best very cold.
Important Notes
- Lavender Warning: Only use lavender marked “culinary grade.” Do not use lavender from craft stores. Craft store lavender is not for eating.
- Honey Note: Honey thickens in cold drinks. If you prefer a thinner drink or less sweetness, use maple syrup. You can also use simple syrup instead of honey.
- Strength: Use coffee brewed stronger than normal. Cold coffee tastes less strong. Strong coffee prevents a weak latte flavor.
- Leftovers: This drink melts fast. It does not store well. Make it fresh each time.
Final Thought
Beat the heat. Drink purple(ish) coffee. Feel fancy without trying hard. Your blender deserves a promotion. Enjoy your frozen latte! 🪻
