Ingredients for the Starbucks Oatmilk Matcha Lavender Cream Recipe (Copycat)
Scroll down to the recipe card at the bottom of the page for the detailed ingredient measurements.
- Oat Milk: Try to use an extra creamy oat milk so that your matcha latte has the best texture.
- Matcha: Starbucks uses a sweetened matcha mix in their beverages, so we did the same for this green tea latte. This one from Matcha Love is very good.
- Lavender Syrup: This is how we will add lavender flavor to the cold foam on this latte. You can buy the syrup from the grocery store or make one at home. You could also use the powder version if you’d like but you would have to add sweetener with it.
- Heavy Cream: combines with the lavender to create a delicious topping for your creamy matcha. It also creates a beautiful silky texture.
- Milk: Whole milk is used to dilute the heavy cream to create the perfect cold foam topping for a latte.
- Ice: Make sure to use ice made from purified water so that it doesn’t taste bad when it melts.
- Hot Water: will be used to mix with the matcha powder.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ
What if I Can’t Find Lavender Syrup?
Finding the Lavender Syrup in stores can be difficult. Luckily, there are a couple of other ways you can make the lavender cold foam at home.
- Simple Syrup and Lavender Extract: One method is to do what I did and make a home made lavender syrup. All you need to do is make a simple syrup by combining equal parts (hot but not boiling) water and sugar, think 1 cup to 1 cup. Then add in some lavender extract and a little purple food coloring. Give it a stir and let it cool. Now you can use this in the recipe.
- Cream, Sweetener, and Lavender Powder: This method is more similar to the one Starbucks uses. They combine a vanilla-flavored sweet cream with their proprietary lavender powder. Your best option is to use heavy cream and milk with pumps of vanilla syrup and lavender powder. Combine all of this and froth it with a hand frother to create the cold foam for your lavender latte.
How Do I Make Lavender Syrup at Home?
- Combine 1 cup sugar and 1 cup hot (not boiling) water.
- Stir until dissolved.
- Add 1-2 teaspoon lavender extract and purple food coloring.
- Let the lavender simple syrup cool before use.
Can I Use Unsweetened Matcha?
Yes you can! Unsweetened matcha is much more common and easier to find, so absolutely you can use it.
Just want to add sweetener to it separately if you want it to have a touch of sweetness though. Vanilla syrup or honey are two flavors that would complement the matcha and lavender flavors nicely.
Can I Make a Hot Version of This Drink?
Yes, but the cold foam will mix into the latte rather than staying layered. It will still taste great!
How Should I Store Leftovers?
This drink is best enjoyed fresh. However, if needed you could remove ice from your iced lavender matcha latte and store in an airtight container or a mason jar with a tight lid in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.

What kind of lavender syrup do you use?

I actually made my own combining a lavender extract and homemade simple syrup, it’s super easy. Make simple syrup by cooking equal amounts of sugar and water on the stove. Once it boils, reduce to a simmer, add lavender extract and stir. Then let it cool.
