# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • The floral lavender syrup feels like a secret indulgence only the two of us know about.
  • This latte is vegan-friendly and easy enough to mix up whenever you're craving something cozy.
02 -
  • Steeping lavender longer than 5 minutes makes the syrup taste grassy—stick to the timer.
  • Frothing oat milk can be tricky—shake well before heating so it doesn't separate.
03 -
  • If you accidentally use too much lavender, add extra oat milk and a splash of vanilla to soften the taste.
  • The real secret is in the quality of the espresso—deep and rich flavors make it luxurious.
