Preparation
Iced Matcha Latte
- Whisk or share 2 teaspoons of Matcha Latte Mix with 1/4 cup of warm water (use 3 tsp if you prefer a stronger matcha flavor).
- Add the matcha to oat milk (or the milk of your choice) and stir.
- Fill a glass with ice and pour the mixture over, leaving enough room for the cold foam to be added to the top.
Lavender Cold Foam
- Combine the heavy cream, 2% milk, lavender and vanilla syrups (and the optional food coloring for presentation).
- Mix using an electric milk frother to whip up to create a smooth and fluffy cold foam.
- Pour over the iced matcha latte.
- Optional: Sprinkle the Organic Lavender Flowers on top and enjoy!
Tips:
- If you create too much cold foam, you can store the excess in the refrigerator for 1-2 days. You'll need to froth up again.
- If you prefer a stronger lavender flavor to your matcha latte, you can add a few dried lavender buds to the matcha latte mix.
