Lavender Frappuccino, a floral flavoured Frappuccino, perfect for the summer, an instant recipe for when that craving hits.
A few days ago, I and my family went to the Mayfield Lavender Farm near London. Lavender fields seem to have taken over Instagram recently, with all visitors hoping to get the chance of that perfect selfie!
Going to a lavender farm immerses all of the senses of all things Lavender. The aroma hangs in the air and the beautiful purple hue stretches out all around you!
Now, you can't go all the way to a Lavender farm without sampling the delicacies including Lavender Scones on offer at the cafe. In the steady sunshine, the Lavender frappuccino stood out.
Even as a uni student, I've managed to avoid needing the caffeine kick before lectures and exams - yet! Coffee for me is synonymous with catching up with friends. A quick text to see who is free to spend the next few hours chatting away. We love to find quirky coffee shops, trying different places each time.
However, when these coffees are so easy to recreate at home, you don't always need to go out. And good old gossip can be done anywhere!
My mum bought lavender syrup to take home. I asked her if she had made any plans to use it yet, and when she hadn't, I set about making the frappuccino.
The end result was splendid - smooth, silky ice cold coffee fragrant with lavender. (Can anyone give me any tips on how to steal the lavender syrup from the fridge without my mum seeing?)

What a lovely way to start the day! Love the addition of lavender syrup - so creative. Pinning!
ReplyDeleteI love a frappachino, but I have never had lavender in it. It sounds lovely and summery though.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh these look lovely. I love going to Lavender Farms, I passed one in Norfolk yesterday and now I'm really regretting not going in!
ReplyDeleteVery creative! A lavender farm... I've never heard of that before. this is very beautiful ...I'm not a big caffeine person I tend to need things to calm me down vs energize me but I would love to try this recipe just based on the lavender alone 😊
ReplyDeleteI love visiting the lavender farm near us and have used it in all sorts of cakes and bakes but never a drink! This looks lush!
ReplyDeleteLavender is my favorite..glad now I could get it in Frappachhino.. looks awesome and tempting
ReplyDeleteMy god!! That lavender farm is such beautiful place. And i just want to grab that frappe.. so inviting:)
ReplyDeleteLovely frappachino, and the addition of lavender is making it so exotic, have to try this.
ReplyDeleteI am excited to try this when my daughter is in town:) We have a lot of fun making these drinks. Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteMmmm. I never thought of putting lavender in coffee! This looks so delicious! I suggest tying your mother to the couch while you take her lavender syrup. There is no other way to get it. ;)
ReplyDeleteLooks like breakfast and dessert to me. Lavender syrup is such a nice idea. Yum!
ReplyDeleteLavender in coffee is such a unique combination. Delicious
ReplyDeleteThats a nice twist to coffee! Lavender in coffee is interesting and clicks are awesome!
ReplyDeleteThe only place I can find lavender is tucked into my blend of herbes de provence -- such a shame because it has such a deliciously herbal aroma. I would never have thought about using it like this!
ReplyDeleteThis looks beautiful and delicious. I never been to lavender field. Lovely pictures too:)

ReplyDeleteWe grow lavender in our garden and we love the smell. I haven't tried lavender and coffee flavours together, sounds interesting!
ReplyDeleteWow, would never have thought of lavender with coffee, but I want to try it. Your frappucino looks so good, love the styling!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so fabulous! There's a local coffeeshop that makes a lavender latte that I'm obsessed with, and I keep meaning to re-create it but haven't gotten around to it yet. Love the frap idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea to add lavender to a drink An interesting concept!
ReplyDeleteWow wow wow wow! What a wonderful cup of coffee/dessert/treat!!

ReplyDeleteA lavender farm was on our list this year but unfortunately the weather wasn't the best. The plan was to take family photos in it.
ReplyDeleteOmg I am realistically drooling over this lavender frappuccino. You have to make it for me when I will visit you someday :)
ReplyDeleteSapana, definitely I'll wait for that day and will take you to this farm too :)
DeleteOn my wish list is to visit a lavender field. Your clicks are so beautiful. I'm sure the lavender frappucino must have tasted heavenly. Was wondering if I could replace the syrup with some dried lavender?
