Easy Lavender Iced Coffee Recipe

Ever since visiting lavender fields last year, I’ve been OBSESSED with all things lavender.

Lavender cocktails, lavender perfume and recently: lavender iced coffee. We just got a new iced coffee maker and DANG, a cold lavender flavored cup of coffee seriously the best way to start the morning. And it’s not hard to make.

Easy Lavender Iced Coffee Recipe For Epic Mornings

Yum!
We love using local products to make coffee

The key to an iced lavender latte or coffee is lavender simple syrup. And you’re probably wondering: where the heck does one find lavender simple syrup? You make it!

We order culinary lavender buds from Araceli Farms, a locally owned lavender farm. She ships nationwide so you can shop online from her, too, or you can find a local farm near you. (There’s something really nice about eating locally sourced foods, makes me feel more connected to Mother Nature.) I’m sure Whole Foods also sells culinary lavender buds as well.

Lavender syrup is really easy to make. It’s just like any simple syrup you may have made for cocktails – you just add in lavender buds! Bring equal parts water and sugar in a pot along with at least 1-2 tablespoons of lavender buds and boil together until sugar dissolves. Then let it cool and it’s ready to go into the coffee. We usually do 2 cups water, 2 cups sugar and 2-3 tablespoons buds since I love a strong syrup.

I adore this stuff from Trader Joes
We always keep a jar of lavender simple syrup in the fridge

 

We always have some simple syrup on hand for recipes in the fridge (like our Beauxbaton Horses cocktail!) In the morning, fill up a cup with ice cubes and pour your desired amount of lavender simple syrup into your cup. Then make your coffee and pour over the ice cubes. We have an iced coffee maker, but I’ve also made this recipe with cold brew and hot french press coffee in the past, too. It’s all good!

Then, top with some of Trader Joe’s Blueberry Lavender Almond Milk. This is KEY for that perfect balance of creamy and sweet. I go through this stuff way too fast. Your coffee will be nice and lavendery without the almond milk but this add that extra tasty touch to make it feel like something you’d order from Starbucks.

Good coffee matters in this one! We love Red Bay Coffee Roaster’s Carver Dream in this recipe. They’re a locally Black-owned coffee company. Shop their beans online.
