    Does Lavender Taste Good In Coffee?

    I first made a Lavender Latte, which took me by surprise. I honestly didn't think I would like lavender in my coffee, but I was wrong.

    I really love the addition of lavender. It's got a delightful floral flavor that isn't overpowering.

    Add in the warming spices of chai to the lavender latte, and you've got a wonderful combination of flavors.

    What Is A Dirty Chai Latte?

    A Dirty Chai Latte is a combination of chai tea and a latte. It has a shot of espresso and frothed milk. The iced version is served cold over ice and there's no frothy topping.

    For this Iced Lavender Dirty Chai Latte recipe, I used cold brew coffee, chai tea, lavender simple syrup, and oat milk.

    • Oat milk: Adds a sweet creamy flavor. You could also use almond milk, cashew milk, or soy milk.

    💭 Tips

    • If you want frothy milk on top, you may want to use soy milk or another plant-based milk. Oat milk doesn't froth very well.
    • You can use espresso instead of coffee. I used cold brew coffee because that's what I normally drink. It's less acidic than regular coffee.

    Ingredients

    • 1 chai tea bag
    • ½ cup water
    • ½ cup strongly brewed coffee - I used cold brew coffee
    • 2 tablespoons lavender simple syrup
    • ½ cup oat milk

    Instructions

    • In a small saucepan, bring water to a boil. Turn off heat.
    • Steep tea bag 4-6 minutes. Discard tea bag and pour tea into a glass filled with ice.
    • Pour coffee into a glass with tea.
    • Pour lavender simple syrup into glass. Mix well.
    • Pour oat milk over coffee.

    Notes

    If you want a frothy top, soy milk froths better.
    **Important! If you are gluten free you may want to avoid coffee altogether. I personally have never had a problem drinking it, and I have a gluten intolerance. It is probably because I drink whole bean organic coffee, and grind it myself. I learned that it can be problematic for people who don't tolerate gluten. So I did some research and one article mentioned to try organic whole bean coffee because it isn't highly processed causing cross-reactivity issues. So please do the research yourself, and test it out. I try to only post recipes that are 100% gluten free since I have a gluten intolerance. I am really careful about avoiding gluten in my daily life.
