Ingredients you need

For the Matcha Oatmilk Tea, you’ll need:

• Oatmilk

Inexpensive green tea powder is perfect for this recipe. Don’t use high-quality tea here.

Use extra creamy oat milk if you can find it at your grocery store.

For the homemade Lavender Cold Foam, you’ll need:

• Full-fat whipping cream
• Whole milk
• Lavender syrup
• Purple food coloring (optional)

Use a lavender flavor syrup that is formulated for coffee drinks like the ones from Monin or Torani.

The exact measurements for the ingredients are in the printable recipe card below.

Ingredient substitutions

You can customize this homemade iced lavender oat milk latte to fit your taste and dietary preferences. Here are some ideas:

• Sweetener – substitute agave with vanilla syrup, honey, or simple syrup. You can adjust the sweetness by adding or using less sweetener.
• Dairy – to make it dairy-free, substitute the heavy cream and cow’s milk with plant-based whipping cream and milk.
• Oat Milk – use almond milk, coconut milk, soy milk, cow’s milk, or your preferred milk.

How to make Starbucks Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha

To prepare the Matcha Oatmilk Tea:

1. Combine the oatmilk, light agave nectar, and Matcha green tea in a bowl with a spout.
2. Whisk until frothy. Set aside.

To prepare the Cold Lavender Foam:

1. Pour the heavy cream, whole milk, lavender syrup, and a few drops of purple food coloring (if using) into a mixing bowl or a tall glass.
2. Use a milk frother to whip into soft peaks. It may take a few minutes. Set to the side.

To pour a Starbucks Iced Lavender Cream Oatmilk Matcha:

1. Fill the serving glass three-quarters full of ice.
2. Pour the liquid matcha oatmilk tea mixture into the glass.
3. Top with the sweet cream lavender cold foam.

What to serve it with

The unique taste of this tea latte means you want to pair it with mild food. Here are a few suggestions:

• Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins. The hint of lemon in these glazed Lemon Poppy Seed Muffins works well with the lavender in the latte, while the texture of the tiny poppy seeds makes it fun to eat.
• Scones. Plain or vanilla scones are an excellent pairing. Please stay away from scones containing fruits or chocolate chips, as they can clash with the flavor of the drink.
• Almond biscotti. Lightly flavored and with a good crunch, almond biscotti are a great nibble to have on the side.

How to store the leftovers

Keep the Matca Oatmilk Tea and the Lavender Cold Foam in separate airtight containers in the fridge. A mason jar is a great choice for an airtight container. The foam will lose its bubbles over time, so you must froth it again before using it. Try to use up the leftovers within a day or two.
