We've been trying out some new latte recipes and we just love this one. Made with vanilla beans and lavender buds this recipe offers a relaxing yet tasty start or end to any part of the day.

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup of hot coffee 
• 1/2 cup of milk (almond or soy milk also work great in this recipe)
• 1 tsp culinary grade lavender buds
• 1/2 vanilla bean
• 1 tsp honey (optional)

How to make it:

1. Heat the milk, lavender, seeds of the vanilla bean and honey (if using) either in the microwave or on the stove, just until it comes to a simmer. Let it sit for five minutes, then strain. 
2. Pour the hot coffee into a mug, then top with the hot milk. The milk is great frothy, but this is optional.
3. Garnish with a few lavender buds and enjoy!
