Floral, creamy, sweet, and icy—this is your new go-to coffee treat.
Let’s Talk About This Latte 🌸☕
This Honey Lavender Frozen Latte feels like something you’d grab at a fancy café, but it’s crazy easy to make at home.
It’s cold and refreshing, just sweet enough, and has a little floral twist thanks to the lavender.
I started making this on hot afternoons when I needed something iced and pretty.
The lavender-honey combo is smooth and calming, but the coffee keeps you going.
It’s perfect for a quiet moment—or a fun little coffee date with yourself.
What You’ll Need
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled to room temp or chilled)
- 1/2 cup milk of choice (whole, oat, almond all work)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon lavender syrup
- 1 cup ice cubes
Why I Love This Recipe
This is one of my favorite coffee drinks for when I want something different but still easy to make. Here’s why:
- Simple ingredients – Nothing fancy, but it tastes like you got it from a trendy café.
- Floral but not soapy – The lavender adds a light, calming flavor without being overpowering.
- Cold and refreshing – Perfect for summer or a warm afternoon pick-me-up.
- Naturally sweetened – Honey makes it smooth and cozy instead of sharp and sugary.
- It feels fancy – But takes like 5 minutes, and no one has to know.

Why This Recipe Works (Quick Science) 🧪
- Honey dissolves better than sugar – Especially in warm or room temp coffee, giving smooth sweetness.
- Lavender syrup infuses floral oils – You only need a little for big flavor.
- Blending aerates – That whippy texture and foam? It comes from ice + milk + coffee being whipped together fast.
Meal Plan Ideas
- Pair with a light breakfast: think avocado toast or banana muffins
- Afternoon coffee break with a granola bar or trail mix
- A chill weekend brunch add-on with fruit and yogurt
Pro Tips
- Chill your coffee ahead of time—hot coffee will melt the ice too fast.
- Use a strong brew or cold brew concentrate for best flavor.
- Don’t skip the honey—it’s key for balance.
- Blend just until smooth to avoid a watery texture.
- Want extra foam? Add a splash of milk at the end and blend again for 5 seconds.
Tools You’ll Need
- Blender
- Measuring spoons and cups
- Spoon for drizzling honey
- Clear glass for serving
- Straw (optional but fun!)
Substitutions & Variations
- No lavender syrup? Use vanilla or a dash of almond extract instead.
- Vegan? Use oat milk and swap honey for maple syrup.
- No blender? Shake everything in a mason jar with crushed ice.
- Want it creamier? Use half-and-half instead of milk.
Make Ahead Tips
- Brew and chill your coffee the night before.
- You can also make a big batch of lavender syrup and store it in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
How to Make a Honey Lavender Frozen Latte

Step 3: Add Honey and Lavender Syrup
Step 4: Add Ice Cubes
Step 5: Blend Until Smooth and Frothy

Leftovers & Storage
- This is best fresh.
- If you have some left, store in the fridge for a few hours. Shake well before drinking—it’ll be more iced coffee than frozen though.
Common Mistakes
- Using hot coffee – melts the ice and ruins the texture.
- Too much lavender – it can taste like soap if you go overboard.
- Not blending long enough – results in a chunky or uneven texture.
- Using too little sweetener – the floral notes need the honey to balance them.
What to Serve With
- Almond biscotti
- Blueberry muffins
- A fruit + yogurt bowl
- Mini croissants or scones
- Light summer salad for brunch
