Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee cold or iced
- 1-2 tablespoons lavender syrup adjust based on sweetness preference
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup milk
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream for topping
- Dried culinary lavender for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare coffee in a French Press by adding 1 tablespoon of coarsely ground coffee per 4 ounces of hot water (about 200°F). Let it steep for 4 minutes, then slowly press down the plunger to separate the grounds.
- Let the brewed coffee cool to room temperature, or refrigerate it until chilled. Cooling prevents the ice from melting too quickly when assembling the drink.
- Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the cooled coffee over the ice. Add the lavender syrup and vanilla extract, stirring to combine. Pour in the milk of your choice, adjusting the amount for your preferred creaminess.
- Top with whipped cream and a sprinkle of dried culinary lavender for a beautiful and fragrant finish. Give it a quick stir and enjoy.
Notes
- Use high-quality culinary lavender to avoid bitter or soapy flavors.
- Start with 1 tablespoon of lavender syrup, taste, and adjust if you prefer a stronger floral note.
- Chill your coffee completely to create a true refreshing drinks recipe without watery ice melt.
- For a creamy coffee upgrade, blend the milk with a little extra vanilla and whip it slightly for a quick cold foam topping.
