Iced Matcha Latte Recipe With Lavender Syrup 

by Sylvia Hofer
This iced matcha latte with lavender syrup is one of my favorite drinks. Not just favorite as in I’ll-make-it-once-and-forget-about-it. Favorite as in I crave it, think about it, and feel slightly annoyed when I run out of lavender syrup. The lavender flavor makes it taste floral but not perfume floral. Earthy but not grassy in a way. Sweet but calm. Basically the drink version of a deep breath.

  • Reduce heat and simmer for 3 to 5 minutes until fragrant.
  • Remove from heat and strain out lavender buds. 

Notes

Matcha tips
  • Use culinary or ceremonial grade matcha for the best flavor and color. Lower-quality matcha can taste bitter.
Sweetness adjustments
  • Lavender syrup can be strong. Start with a small amount and add more to taste.
  • You can substitute honey or simple syrup if you don’t have lavender syrup on hand.
How to avoid bitterness
  • Do not use boiling water when whisking matcha. Hot, not boiling, water keeps the flavor smooth.
