Ingredients
  

For the Matcha Latte
  • 2.5 tsp matcha powder Look for high-quality, ceremonial-grade matcha for the best flavor;
  • 1 tbsp hot water Ideally at 175°F; don't boil it—matcha prefers a gentler temperature!
  • 1.5 tbsp simple syrup You can easily make your own by dissolving equal parts sugar and hot water.
  • 1.25 cups oat milk Creamy and dairy-free, perfect for the latte texture.
  • 1 cup ice For a refreshing cold latte.
  • 1 oz cold milk Use any milk you prefer—dairy or non-dairy works great!
  • 1.25 tbsp lavender syrup I love Monin Lavender Syrup for its authentic flavor.
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract A hint of vanilla adds depth to the foam.
For the Lavender Foam
  • 1.75 oz heavy cream For the luxurious lavender foam.
  • 4 drops purple food coloring Optional, but it makes the foam pop!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium glass, combine 2.5 tsp of matcha powder with 1 tbsp of hot water (175°F). Using a whisk, mix vigorously for about 30 seconds until smooth and free of lumps.
  2. Stir in 1.5 tbsp of simple syrup and adjust sweetness to preference.
Prepare the Lavender Foam
  1. In a separate container, combine 1.75 oz of heavy cream, 1 oz of cold milk, 1.25 tbsp of lavender syrup, and 4 drops of purple food coloring. Whisk until thick and frothy.
Assemble and Serve
  1. Fill a glass with 1 cup of ice, pour the matcha mixture over it followed by gently topping with 1.25 cups of oat milk. Stir in 1/4 tsp of vanilla extract.
  2. Carefully spoon the lavender foam over the top and serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, ensure heavy cream is chilled and whisked properly. This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
