How Does a Lavender Matcha Latte Taste?
If you're not familiar with matcha's flavor, it's somewhat like regular green tea but with a more intense, earthy taste—some even describe it as grassy (in a good way!).
This is why it pairs perfectly with a touch of sugar and cream to balance the earthy notes.
Lavender brings a floral flavor that, to avoid tasting too much like raw flowers, benefits from a bit of sweetness and pairs beautifully with bold flavors like matcha—or even coffee!
The result is a sweet, creamy green tea drink with hints of floral notes, offering a refreshing balance of flavors.
INGREDIENTS
For the lavender syrup:
- 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender buds
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup water
For the matcha latte:
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder (high quality, ceremonial grade if possible)
- 1 cup milk of choice (whole milk, oat milk, almond milk, etc.)
- 2 tablespoons hot water (about 175°F / 80°C) – we use hot water to blend the matcha and remove lumps.
- 1–2 teaspoons lavender syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice (for iced version)

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Make the Lavender Syrup (if making at home):
You can also purchase lavender syrup, but it's quite simple to make at home and definitely worth it if you enjoy the flavor and think you'll use it often.
- In a small saucepan, heat water and sugar over medium heat until sugar dissolves.
- Add dried lavender buds and simmer for about 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes.
- Strain out lavender buds and let the syrup cool. (Store leftovers in the fridge.)

2. Prepare the Matcha:
With your syrup ready, it's time to make a latte! Start by adding matcha to a drinking glass. Choose one with a wide enough opening so you can easily whisk out any lumps.
- Sift the matcha powder into a bowl or cup (this prevents clumps).
- Add hot water and whisk briskly in a zig-zag motion until frothy. (Use a bamboo whisk if you have one!)
3. Assemble the Latte:
- Heat and froth your milk (or just froth if you want it cold).
- In a cup, add the lavender syrup.
- Pour the frothed milk over the syrup.
- Gently pour the matcha on top.
- Stir gently to mix, or leave layered for a pretty ombré effect.
Feel free to sweeten it to your preference. Keep in mind, that the more syrup you add, the stronger the lavender flavor will be.
Optional:
Top with dried lavender buds or a sprinkle of matcha for a beautiful finish!
Tips:
- For an iced Lavender Matcha Latte, just pour everything over a glass full of ice.
- Adjust the sweetness to your preference by adding more or less lavender syrup.
