Mother’s Day is this Sunday and if there is one thing I know for sure, it’s that MOM NEEDS COFFEE. I am speaking from personal experience here. For years I’ve wanted a Nespresso machine so when William Sonoma gifted me one for Mother’s Day along with their new Coffee Capsule Collection, I was so excited! I am an espresso lover through and through and my regular order at any coffee shop is an Americano (Espresso shots with hot water) or if I’m spoiling myself, a Lavender Honey Latte.
Lavender Honey Latte Recipe
Like everything that William Sonoma creates, these coffee capsules are premium quality and incredibly delicious. Made from 100% Fair Trade Certified™ coffee beans and completely recyclable, they created 6 flavors to chose from. For my lavender honey latte, I used the William Sonoma vanilla coffee capsule to give an added sweet note. Here’s how I make it.
Start by making a lavender honey simple syrup. Equal parts sugar and water go into a sauce pan with good quality honey and culinary lavender. Once it comes to a simmer and the sugar dissolves, remove it from the heat and allow the lavender to steep until cooled. Once you’ve made a batch you can keep the syrup stored in the fridge for at home flavored coffee drinks anytime!
To your coffee mug or glass add a shot of espresso (hello, Nespresso machine!), a splash of lavender honey syrup and top with warm frothed milk. William Sonoma also carries Nespresso milk frothers if you really want to spoil Mom, which I recommend you do. Says the Mom of three-year-old twins. If you don’t have a frother you can shake warmed milk until frothy in a glass mason jar with a tight fitting lid. Spoon foam over the top and you have a delicious Mother’s Day coffee drink at home.
Mom is going to absolutely love this latte, and her Nespresso machine! Visit William Sonoma in-store or online to shop their new Coffee Capsule collection and all of their Nespresso machines. Happy Mother’s Day!
