Ingredients
LAVENDER CONCENTRATE
4 cups cold filtered water
1/4 cup culinary lavender
Note:
If you’re strapped for time (or patience) and don’t want to make the concentrate, simply steep 1-2 tsp. lavender with your tea in hot (not boiling) water to taste and add milk and ice. Alternatively, you can enjoy it hot with a splash of milk!
LATTE
1 cup hot water
2 black tea or Earl grey tea bags
1/2 Tbsp maple syrup or sweetener of choice (this helps to enhance lavender, you can skip if needed)
2/3 cup lavender concentrate (or lavender tea)
2/3 cup dairy-free milk of choice (unsweetened almond or coconut tastes the best, use coconut or tigernut for AIP)
