🍯 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
🥛 3/4 cup milk of choice (oat, almond, or whole milk)
🍾 1/4 cup heavy cream or coconut cream (for that signature Starbucks creaminess!)
🍬 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
❄️ Ice cubes (for an iced version)

📚💜 Step-by-Step Instructions 💜📚

1️⃣ 🌿 Make the Lavender Syrup

In a small saucepan, heat 1/4 cup of water with 2 teaspoons of dried lavender over medium heat. 💧🌿
Once it starts simmering, reduce the heat and let it steep for 5 minutes. ⌛
Strain out the lavender using a fine-mesh sieve and mix in 1 tablespoon of honey while it's still warm. 🍯
Let it cool while you prepare the matcha. ❄️

2️⃣ 🥛 Prepare the Matcha Base

In a small bowl, add 1 teaspoon of matcha powder. 🌿
Slowly pour in 1 tablespoon of hot water and whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk or milk frother until you get a smooth, frothy consistency. 💪🥛

3️⃣ 🥛 Froth the Milk and Cream

Heat 3/4 cup of milk (if making a hot latte) or keep it cold (for an iced version). 💦
Froth 1/4 cup of heavy cream using a milk frother or by shaking it in a jar until thick and foamy. 🍾
Stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract. 🍬

4️⃣ ☕️ Assemble the Latte

If making an iced latte, add ice cubes to a glass. ❄️
Pour the lavender syrup into the glass, followed by the matcha mixture. 🌿
Slowly pour in the milk, then top with the lavender vanilla cream. 💖
