HOMEMADE LAVENDER LATTES to make your day extra special.

After a weekend in the Northfork of Long Island a few weeks ago where lavender lattes are a must, I’ve been all about using culinary lavender. I recently made Maple Lavender Rice Krispies Treats, and to go with it, you know I had to make a lavender latte—BUT MY HUSBAND FRANKLIN BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH. Aaaaaand, insult to injury, he had a better idea than me. Instead of lavender simple syrup, he made a lavender infused maple syrup … effing brilliant! Then he frothed extra lavender directly in the milk in our espresso machine (which is awesome and is featured in my holiday gift guide) I’m so angry that I didn’t think of it first. Kuddos to his brilliance—it is why I married him after all. Get his amazing recipe below.
