Lavender Lattes

Even in the hot months, there is still a need for morning routines and hot drinks. Well, we've taken the hot drink and given if a fun summer spin. A little bit of fresh lavender - perfumed and aromatic - is added to a simple syrup and then poured into a latte for the ultimate in summer sipping.

• 2 Tbsp. fresh lavender

2. Strain out lavender, allow to cool and transfer to a jar.
3. Pour tea into a cup. Add 2 to 3 tablespoons lavender syrup into the tea.
4. Place the cream in a blender and whir for 10 to 15 seconds until frothy. Pour into the tea.
5. Serve hot.
