Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte with Homemade Lavender Syrup

If you’ve been craving something refreshing and a bit fancy without being complicated, let us introduce you to one of our favorite drinks to make at home: Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte. Imagine it as your everyday latte but with soothing lavender and creamy oat milk, it’s light, floral, and slightly sweet. Perfect for afternoons or when you want a little pick-me-up. Our barista loves this one because it’s café-quality yet super easy to make in your own kitchen. And trust us, once you try it, you’ll wonder why you haven’t been making it all along.

What’s In the Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte?

The Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte is made of three simple ingredients, espresso, lavender syrup, and oat milk, that’s it. Espresso offers the bold flavor along lavender syrup with its floral note, and oat milk making the drink silky in texture.

We like to use oat milk here as it’s naturally creamy and slightly nutty, and pairs so beautifully with the delicate lavender. While you can trade almond or even whole milk, oat milk balances the flavors without overpowering them, so in short, if you’ve got espresso, oat milk, and lavender syrup, you’ve got yourself a perfect drink.

Is the Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte Sweet?

Yes, but in a natural way. Because the sweetness in an Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte is because of the lavender syrup, it’s not super sugary like caramel or vanilla lattes. Don’t expect it to offer dessert-level sweetness. Instead, you’ll have a bit light and floral sweetness that is balanced instead of being too heavy.

Of course, how sweet it turns out is totally in your control. If you’re someone who likes sweeter drinks, just add an extra pump or homemade spoonful of lavender syrup. If you like it subtle, go easy.

Our barista recommends: start with 1 tablespoon of lavender syrup and adjust after your first sip, you’ll find your sweet spot quickly.

Is the Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte Good?

Absolutely, it’s so refreshing and calming all in one, because lavender has a soothing effect, which makes this different from the regular sugary iced coffees. From espresso, you get that caffeine kick, but the floral notes of lavender take the edge off making it the kind of latte you sip slowly and savor.

We’ve found this drink is especially good when you need something cooling but don’t want a super strong or bitter coffee flavor. The oat milk mellows everything out, while lavender keeps it interesting.

And here’s a little insider tip: if you ever feel stressed mid-afternoon, this latte is like a coffee hug in a glass.

Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte Recipe

Here’s how to make our version of iced lavender oatmilk latte at home:

Ingredients (1 serving):

• 1 shot of espresso or half cup of strong brewed coffee if you don’t have espresso
• ¾ cup oat milk, barista blend works great for frothiness
• 1 tablespoon lavender syrup
• Ice cubes

Steps:

1. Brew your espresso and let it cool slightly
2. Fill a glass with ice cubes
3. Pour in the lavender syrup
4. Add espresso on top
5. Finish with oat milk, pouring slowly for that pretty layered effect
6. Stir gently before sipping

Barista Tip: If you want a café-worthy touch, make your own lavender syrup by gently boiling equal parts of water and sugar with dried lavender, then straining. It can be kept in the fridge for up to two weeks.

If you want a stronger lavender flavor, you can double the syrup or even infuse your oat milk with lavender overnight. Just place a teaspoon of dried culinary lavender in a tea bag and let it sit in oat milk for 8–10 hours. The result? A smooth, floral latte that tastes like a café creation.

How Many Calories In Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte?

Calories can differ depending on how much syrup and which oat milk you use, but here’s a quick comparison of our homemade recipe vs. the Starbucks Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte:

As you can see, making this drink at home nearly cuts the calories in half while giving you control over sweetness. It’s lighter, fresher, and honestly just as tasty.

Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte Caffeine

Yes, the Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte does have caffeine as it’s made with espresso. One shot of espresso offers you about 63 mg of caffeine, which is almost just like a regular latte, if you’re caffeine-sensitive, you can use decaf espresso or even swap in strong brewed herbal coffee alternatives. You’ll still get the lavender-and-oatmilk magic without the buzz.

Our barista sometimes makes this caffeine-free in the evenings. It’s the perfect relaxing drink before bed when made with decaf.

Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte Nutrition

Let’s break down the nutrition for our homemade recipe based on oat milk and 1 tbsp lavender syrup:

As compared to other iced lattes, this drink is light, mostly since oat milk is lower in fat than whole milk. And if you want something flavorful but not too heavy, it’s a great choice.

The Final Sip

The Iced Lavender Oatmilk Latte is evidence that you don’t always need to go to a café to have something fancy. With just a few ingredients, you can create a drink that is indulgent and actually pretty light and nourishing.

We love it for its calming lavender, creamy oat milk, and just-right sweetness. It’s the kind of drink that makes you slow down, breathe, and enjoy your coffee moment.

Our barista recommends: Keep a small jar of homemade lavender syrup in the fridge. That way, whenever the mood strikes, you can whip up this latte in minutes. It also makes a great gift for a fellow coffee lover.
