Coconut Lavender Latte - Vegan recipe hero image

This Coconut Lavender Latte has become a little ritual for me, especially on lazy Sunday mornings.

There’s something so soothing about the floral notes of lavender mixed with the creamy coconut, and it always brings back memories of sipping lavender tea in a quaint café while traveling.

I’ve found that the combination not only tastes amazing but also makes me feel grounded and at peace.

Plus, I love knowing I’m treating my body to wholesome, plant-based ingredients.

What Makes This Recipe Special

  • Made with simple, plant-based ingredients that are easy to find
  • No animal products - completely vegan and cruelty-free
  • Perfect for beginners and experienced cooks alike
  • Delicious results that everyone will love, vegan or not

Ingredients & Substitutions

I really love using culinary lavender for this recipe because it adds such a lovely floral aroma. If you can’t find it, you can use lavender essential oil, but be super careful with the amount. Just a drop can go a long way! As for the coconut milk, feel free to use homemade if you have the time – it’s so creamy and satisfying.

Tips & Notes

  • I like to keep my dried lavender in a glass jar away from light - it helps maintain its flavor longer.
  • If you want a stronger lavender flavor, steep it a little longer, but be cautious not to overdo it.

Recipe Variations

  • Sometimes I add a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg on top for a little extra warmth.
  • You can also try adding a bit of matcha for a twist on the latte – it’s a fun way to mix things up!

Storage & Freezing

This latte is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, you can store it in the fridge for a day. Just give it a good shake before reheating!

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use a different milk?

Absolutely! Almond milk or oat milk works well too, but I find coconut milk gives it that creamy richness that’s hard to beat.

Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Start by boiling 1 cup of water in a small saucepan.

  2. 2

    Once boiling, remove it from the heat and add the dried culinary lavender. Let it steep for about 5 minutes.

  3. 3

    While the lavender is steeping, prepare your coffee or espresso. I love using my French press for a rich flavor.

  4. 4

    Strain the lavender liquid into a mixing bowl or large mug, discarding the lavender flowers.

  5. 5

    In a separate saucepan, combine the strained lavender infusion, coconut milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Heat gently over medium heat until warm, but do not let it boil.

  6. 6

    Once heated, use a frother or whisk to create a bit of foam in the coconut lavender mixture.

  7. 7

    In your favorite mugs, pour the strong coffee or espresso first, then top it with the lavender coconut mixture.

  8. 8

    Give it a gentle stir to combine, and enjoy your cozy latte!
