Frequently asked questions – FAQ

What Lavender Does Starbucks use in their drinks?

Starbucks has a proprietary lavender powder which has a beautiful shade of purple which unfortunately doesn’t come through in lattes but it has delicious subtle floral notes and vanilla flavors with a little sweetness to it. Leaving you with well-rounded profile drink that you can’t get enough of!

In the iced matcha lavender creme you see the purple hues shine through from this powder so beautifully, so if you haven’t tried recreating the tone at home then you must! 

Can I Use Coffee Instead of Espresso?

In a latte you usually want to use espresso shots but I understand that not everyone has a machine that can make that for them. Your next best bet is the Italian espresso maker which is a small stovetop coffee maker. 

But if you don’t want to bother getting that you can use about 1 tablespoon of instead coffee to 3 tablespoons of hot water, mix until dissolved then mix in with the other ingredients.  

Can I Use a Different Kind of Milk?

Absolutely!

To stick with the original I used creamy oatmilk but feel free to use any milk you like. Whole milk would be great as it would add extra creaminess but whatever you have on hand will do great!

Can I make this ahead of time?

I would not recommend making this ahead of time since espresso in iced coffees will taste best freshly brewed but then again the world if your oyster. If it is more convenient for you to make it ahead and lose a little bit of the flavor quality then feel free to do that. 

What other milk options can I use in this Starbucks iced lavender oatmilk latte?

For this specific milk latte, you can use a variety of milk alternatives to suit your taste or dietary preferences. Some options include:

1. Almond milk: Adds a nutty flavor and a creamy texture. Perfect if you’re an almond milk person too!
2. Soy milk: Provides a creamy texture and adds a slightly nutty flavor.
