Step 1: Combine Lavender Syrup and Matcha Powder
Okay, first things first: grab a small bowl or a mug. Add your lavender syrup and matcha powder. Now, this is important: whisk them together REALLY well until you get a smooth, dark green paste. No clumps allowed!
Step 2: Add Milk and Ice to Your Lavender Matcha
Next, fill your glass with ice – the more, the merrier, I say! Then, pour your milk over the ice, leaving a little room at the top. Now, gently spoon that matcha-lavender paste over the milk. We’re building layers, baby!

Tips for the Perfect Lavender Matcha
Want to take your lavender matcha game to the next level? Of course, you do! Here are a few little tricks I’ve learned along the way. Trust me, they make all the difference!
- Sweetness is key! Start with less lavender syrup and add more to taste. You can always add, but you can’t take away, ya know?
- Froth it up! If you have a milk frother, use it! A little froth makes this drink feel extra fancy.
- Temperature matters! If your milk isn’t cold enough, your matcha might not mix as well. I like to chill my glass in the freezer for a few minutes, too!

Iced Lavender Matcha
Want the ultimate chill? Load up that glass with TONS of ice! And here’s a secret: use crushed ice for extra frosty goodness. Oh, and make sure your milk is super cold before you make this lavender matcha!
Hot Lavender Matcha
Craving something warm and cozy? Heat your milk on the stovetop or in the microwave until it’s nice and steamy. Don’t let it boil! Then, just follow the same steps for the lavender matcha, but with warm milk. So comforting!
Sparkling Lavender Matcha
Okay, this one’s a game changer! After you mix everything, top it off with a splash of sparkling water or club soda. It adds a fun, fizzy twist to your lavender matcha. Trust me, you gotta try it!
