Why lavender and matcha are a perfect pair
Lavender’s calming, aromatic properties beautifully complement the earthy richness of matcha. Together, they create a drink that’s as relaxing as it is energizing. Matcha is packed with antioxidants and provides sustained energy without the jitters, making it an excellent alternative to coffee. Lavender adds a subtle floral sweetness that transforms this latte into a café-worthy creation you can enjoy from the comfort of your home.
Ingredients
-
2 oz warm water
-
1 tbsp lavender syrup
-
5 oz milk of your choice
-
(Optional) 1/4 tsp dried lavender buds for garnish
For the Lavender Cream:
-
3 tbsp heavy whipping cream
-
2 tbsp milk
-
0.5–1 tbsp lavender syrup (adjust to your sweetness preference)
Directions:
1. Prepare the Matcha Base
In your favorite cup, add the contents of the Matcha On-the-Go stick. Pour in 2 oz of warm water and froth with an electric frother until smooth and creamy. Add 1 tbsp of lavender syrup to the matcha and froth again to combine the floral sweetness.
2. Whip Up the Lavender Cream
Whisk together heavy whipping cream, milk, and lavender syrup in a small bowl until light and slightly frothy. You can adjust the sweetness by adding more or less lavender syrup to taste.
3. Assemble the Latte
Fill a serving glass with ice cubes. Pour in 5 oz of your favorite milk, followed by the lavender-infused matcha mixture. Top it off with the lavender cream.
4. Garnish and Serve
For a finishing touch, sprinkle a pinch of dried lavender buds on top of the cream. Not only does it look stunning, but it also enhances the lavender aroma. Sip, savor, and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks:
- Use one teaspoon of ceremonial-grade matcha powder if you don't have matcha-on-the-go sticks.
-
Homemade Lavender Syrup: If you want to make your own lavender syrup, simmer equal parts water and sugar with a tablespoon of dried lavender buds. Strain, cool, and store in a jar for future use.
-
Dairy-Free Option: For a lighter version, use plant-based cream and milk. Coconut cream adds a hint of natural sweetness, while almond or oat milk complements the lavender flavor perfectly.
-
Frothing Pro Tip: A small whisk or a blender can do the trick if you don’t have an electric frother. Just make sure your matcha is fully dissolved for a smooth, lump-free texture.
