Equipment

  • Whisk or matcha whisk Bamboo whisk recommended
  • Saucepan
  • Fine mesh strainer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Two mugs

Ingredients
  

For the Latte Base

  • 2 teaspoons culinary-grade matcha powder 6 g
  • 1 cup milk of your choice 240 ml
  • 1 cup water 240 ml
  • 1-2 teaspoons lavender syrup to taste

For the Lavender Syrup

  • 1 cup sugar 200 g
  • 1 cup water 240 ml
  • 2 tablespoons dried culinary lavender

Instructions
 

For the Syrup

  • In a small saucepan, combine sugar and water.
  • Bring to a gentle boil and stir until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Add dried lavender and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Strain and let cool before incorporating into your latte.

Prepare the Lavender Syrup

  • Start by making the lavender syrup; it requires some time to cool. Follow the instructions in the Syrup section above.
  • Tip: Make a larger batch of syrup to have on hand for future lattes or other beverages.

Whisk the Matcha

  • In a bowl, add matcha powder. Slowly pour in hot water (not boiling) while whisking until fully dissolved and frothy.
  • Tip: Use a high-quality matcha for the best flavor and health benefits.

Heat the Milk

  • In a small saucepan, heat your choice of milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling. Frothing the milk can add creaminess if you desire.
  • Tip: A milk frother can create a velvety texture for your latte.

Combine and Serve

  • In a mug, pour in the lavender syrup, followed by the whisked matcha, and top it off with the steamed milk.
  • Gently stir to combine and mix.
  • Tip: Feel free to sprinkle a little extra matcha on top for presentation.
