Limoncello Lavender Iced Latte
A refreshing and aromatic iced latte with a twist of limoncello and lavender
Embark on a sensory journey with our Limoncello Lavender Iced Latte, a sophisticated blend that marries the zesty notes of Italian limoncello with the soothing essence of lavender and the rich depth of cold brew coffee. This recipe draws inspiration from the sun-drenched Amalfi Coast, where limoncello is a beloved digestif, and the fragrant lavender fields of Provence.
Our cold brew coffee forms the backbone of this drink, offering a smooth and less acidic base than traditional hot-brewed coffee. We use a medium-dark roast, coarsely ground and steeped for 12 hours to extract maximum flavor. The limoncello adds a bright, citrusy sweetness, while our homemade lavender syrup introduces a delicate floral note that elevates the entire beverage. Served over ice and garnished with a lemon twist and dried lavender buds, this latte is a refreshing and elegant way to enjoy your coffee on a warm day.
