Honey Bee Coffee
- 1 cup hot coffee or 2 shots espresso
- 1 teaspoon honey
Lavender Coffee Creamer
- ½ cup non-dairy milk
- 1 squeeze lavender paste
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla
Make your coffee using your desired method. If you have an espresso maker, even better to use espresso!
Heat the milk up either on the stovetop, with a frother, or in the microwave. Mix it with the lavender and vanilla to create the creamer.
Pour the honey into the hot coffee and mix to dissolve it.
Combine your coffee and creamer and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- Espresso vs Coffee: Both espresso and coffee share the same beans, but espresso is finely ground and brewed under intense heat and pressure for a very strong flavor. Coffee is roughly ground and then brewed with hot water and with little to no pressure. To make your coffee more espresso-like, simply use more ground coffee to increase its strength.
- If there's a film: You may see a light film develop on the top of the latte as it cools. This is the fat from the milk separating. Just go ahead and scrape that off, or reheat and mix if desired.
Variations
- Iced Honey Bee Latte: Turn this lavender honey latte into an iced latte recipe by allowing hot coffee to cool and pouring over ice. Otherwise, use a cold brew coffee and pour over ice!
- Cinnamon Spice Honey Bee Latte: For a fall twist, try using cinnamon instead of lavender.
- Honey Almond Milk Latte: For this variation, simply use almond milk and a little almond extract in place of the lavender.
- Starbucks Honey Oat Milk Latte: I would be doing a disservice to not tell you how to make one of Starbucks most famous drinks! To make this, simply omit the lavender and use oat milk for the latte portion. Finally, add a pinch of salt to the creamer.
