What You Need: Lavender Coffee Creamer Ingredients
- Heavy Cream or Half-and-Half: Choose heavy cream for an irresistibly rich and luxurious texture. For a lighter yet still creamy option, half-and-half works wonderfully. Both options are suitable for hot and iced coffee beverages.
- Dried Culinary Lavender: Steeping culinary lavender like a floral tea extracts its natural lavender flavor. It’s important to use culinary-grade lavender, as some varieties grown for scent can have a bitter or soapy taste. Culinary lavender boasts a soft, floral flavor and is safe for consumption.
- Monin Lavender Syrup: This syrup sweetens and enhances the lavender flavor without requiring additional honey or maple syrup. It ensures a consistent and balanced taste every time. If you don’t have lavender syrup, honey or maple syrup can be used as substitutes.
- Vanilla Extract: Adding a touch of vanilla extract introduces a warm and inviting depth, softening the lavender’s edges and creating a comforting, hug-in-a-cup experience.
How to Make Lavender Coffee Creamer From Scratch: Step-by-Step Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your own fragrant and delicious lavender coffee creamer at home.
Step 1: Combine Cream and Lavender
Pour heavy cream or half-and-half into a small saucepan. Add the dried culinary lavender. Stir gently and warm over low heat until it’s cozy and steamy. Be careful not to boil.
Step 2: Steep Like a Floral Tea
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture steep for 15 to 20 minutes. During this steeping process, the lavender releases its soft, floral notes, infusing the cream with a calming aroma.
Step 3: Strain and Sweeten
Using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth, strain out the lavender buds. Stir in your vanilla extract and a swirl of Monin lavender syrup. This sweetens the creamer and intensifies the lavender flavor.
Step 4: Store and Enjoy
Pour your dreamy lavender creamer into a clean jar or bottle, place it in the refrigerator, and give it a gentle shake before each use. It will remain fresh for 5 to 7 days, ready to transform any cup of coffee into something truly extraordinary.
