Ingredients
For the Simple Syrup:
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup water
1 Tbl Lavender Flowers
For the Drink:
1 cup Milk (we used almond)
Instructions
- First, make the Lavender Simple Syrup: In a small pan, combine the sugar and water and heat until the mixture is clear and it has thickened a bit – about 5 minutes. Remove from heat. Add in the lavender and steep for 30 minutes. Strain off the flowers. Extra simple syrup can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 weeks.
- Heat the milk in a microwave safe measuring cup. Using a handheld frother or a whisk, froth the milk until bubbly and thick. In a mug, whisk the matcha with a 3 Tbl hot water until smooth. Add in 1 Tbl lavender simple syrup and stir. Top with the frothed milk.
