Key Ingredients for this Recipe
Cold Brew Coffee
Cold brew coffee is brewed with cold or room temperature water and steeped for at least 12 hours. The slow infusion pulls all the great flavor from the coffee beans
The slow infusion pulls all the great coffee flavor from the beans, and at the same time leaves behind most of the compounds that can give coffee that bitter flavor. This means that cold-brewed coffee is incredibly smooth and almost sweet-tasting. Perfect for iced coffee! You can make your own cold brew coffee at home using a French press or buy it from the store in concentrate or ready-to-drink form.
Milk
This iced latte recipe calls for whole milk, but you can easily substitute oat milk, almond milk, or soy milk!
Lavender Syrup
You can make lavender syrup very easily at home using dried lavender buds, sugar, and water in a small saucepan on the stove. Alternatively, you can purchase it in stores or online.
