Lavender Matcha Latte

By The Herbal Academy

Known for its calming and soothing properties, lavender complements matcha beautifully in this beverage which will help relax the mind and encourage the spirits.

Ingredients

Lavender cold foam: 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, or non-dairy) 1/2 tablespoon lavender (Lavandula spp.) flower bud 1 teaspoon butterfly pea (Clitoria ternatea) flower, powdered 1 teaspoon black currant, powdered Matcha latte: 1 teaspoon matcha (Camellia sinensis) powder 1/2 cup cold water Ice cubes 3/4 cup milk of choice 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup to taste (optional)

Directions Start by creating your cold foam: add milk to a jar and add in your lavender, butterfly pea flowers, and black currant powder. Close your jar and let it infuse in the fridge overnight so that the milk can take on the lavender flavor and turn slightly purple. (Tip: make a larger batch, so you can use it again throughout the week!) When you’re ready to make your latte, strain flowers from the milk and create the foam by using a milk frother. Set aside. Sift matcha (so it is lump-free) into a mug or small bowl. Add cold water and whisk until frothy. Add ice cubes to a tall glass. Pour in cold milk, then frothed matcha. Add honey or maple syrup to taste and stir or whisk with a tall spoon. Top with lavender cold foam.
