Super Great Lavender Honey Iced Coffee #dairyfree #refinedsugar

There’s nothing better than an iced latte in the scorching heat of summer. In the winter, we love warm peppermint mochas and pumpkin spice lattes, but that’s a little too rich for the heat. This time of year, we’re opting for a Lavender Honey Iced Latte.

This drink is light, floral and best of all, dairy-free and refined-sugar-free to keep it healthy and indulgent at the same time! Give this easy recipe a go for the perfect summer drink! Hope you enjoy it...


Ingredients:

  • 1 cup raw almonds
  • 4 cups filtered walter, plus more soaking
  • 2 tablespoons raw honey
  • 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender
  • 4-8 shots espresso*

Instructions:


  1. Soak raw almonds in filtered water overnight, just enough so that all of the almonds are covered. Store on the counter or in the fridge overnight.
  2. The next day, place water-rich almonds and 4 cups of filtered water in a high-speed blender.
  3. Add 2 teaspoons dried culinary lavender and 2 tablespoons raw honey to the blender.
  4. Blend ingredients on high for 1-2 minutes.
  5. Strain lavender honey flavored almond milk from pulp, using a nut milk bag or layered cheesecloth.
  6. Add 4-8 shots of espresso to the strained almond milk, depending on how many shots you prefer in a latte.*
  7. Pour over four glasses with ice.


Notes


  • *We like the Vanilio Nespresso pods, but you can use any kind of espresso that you like. Use 8 shots for 2 shots of espresso in each glass or 4 shots for 1 shot of espresso in each glass.
