To Make The Lavender Simple Syrup

Boil for 3 minutes, stirring to melt the honey.
Remove from the heat and allow the syrup to steep for 1 hour.
Strain the syrup through a fine mesh strainer and discard the flowers.

To Serve

Heat the milk in a small pot and froth with a milk frother.
Add an espresso shot in each serving glass and pour in 1-2 tbsps of the honey lavender simple syrup. Use 2 tbsp for a super sweet latte, 1 tbsp for a less sweet latte, ½ tbsp for only a hint of lavender in your drink.
Add the hot milk and top with the froth.
Serve immediately.
Adjust sweetness by drizzling honey into latte if desired.
