Ingredients

  • 1 cup coffe beans freshly ground
  • 3 cups water filtered
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • ice cubes
  • mason jar
  • milk of your choice
  • lavender essential oil of a certified pure therapeutic grade

Instructions

  • First, to make the strong cold brewed coffee, add the freshly ground coffee beans and 3 cups of filtered water to a French press, or quart size mason jar.
  • After the coffee has steeped for 12-24 hours, strain off the coffee grinds.
  • If you don't have a French press, you can strain the coffee grinds through clean tea towel over a large bowl.
  • Fill a quart size mason jar with ice and add two tablespoons honey to a small saucepan with a quarter cup of coffee. I like to dissolve the honey in just a small amount of liquid so it can incorporate more easily. If you skip this step, the honey just sinks to the bottom, and doesn't sweeten the whole drink.
  • Fill the mason jar about halfway with the cold brewed coffee.
  • Add in the warm honey and coffee mixture.
  • Fill the jar the rest of the way up with your milk of choice.  Cow's milk, coconut milk, and almond milk are great choices.
  • Add toothpick dip of lavender essential oil.
  • To do this, stick a toothpick into the bottle of lavender essential oil, pull it out and dip into the mason jar with the iced latte. If you find one toothpick dip isn't strong enough, add another. I find that one whole drop is way too strong.
  • Make sure to only use Certified Pure Therapeutic Grade oils. Cheap brands from Walmart aren't safe to ingest.
  • Give it all a little stir, stick your straw in, and enjoy!

Notes

  • I am using milk that has been locally sourced and grass fed. It has all the health benefits of raw milk, with all the enzymes and probiotics still intact. (If you can’t tolerate dairy, or have no good milk source, you can substitute the milk portion of this recipe with coconut milk or almond milk.)
  • And for the sweetener, I am using honey that I purchased from a local farm.
