Fall is in the air! And even if it's still 90 degrees where you live, you can just pretend, right? We love a hot latte on a cool autumn morning. We love it even more if that latte is made with lavender, oat milk, and the immune-supporting* sweetness of Sambucol Black Elderberry Syrup.

This latte is easy to make and delightful to drink. Enjoy! 

Recipe by Grace Pascale @babybychickpeas

Ingredients:

For the lavender simple syrup:

• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 tablespoon dried culinary-grade lavender buds

For the latte (per drink):

• 1 tablespoon lavender simple syrup
• 1 tablespoon Sambucol black elderberry syrup
• Freshly brewed hot coffee
• Steamed and frothed oat milk or whatever kind of milk you prefer

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, combine sugar, water and lavender. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5 minutes or until sugar has dissolved. Remove from heat and allow to cool. Strain syrup through a fine mesh strainer into a jar to remove lavender buds and set aside.
2. To make the latte, add 1 tablespoon of the lavender simple syrup to a coffee cup, followed by 1 additional tablespoon of Sambucol black elderberry syrup. Fill with coffee to desired level and stir. Top with frothy oat milk and serve :)
