Does lavender go well with matcha?

Absolutely. Lavender and matcha are opposites in the best way—lavender is floral and soothing, while matcha is earthy and vibrant. When paired in a latte, the result is beautifully balanced: floral on the nose, green and energizing on the tongue. It's my favorite unexpected duo since peanut butter met chocolate.

Is the matcha lavender drink healthy?

Yes—especially if you make it at home. Matcha is packed with antioxidants (specifically L-theanine and catechins), which help with calm focus and cellular health. Lavender may help reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. When made with unsweetened oat or almond milk and low-glycemic sweeteners, this lavender matcha latte recipe becomes a smart part of any wellness routine.

How is the lavender matcha made?

You start by steeping lavender—either as a syrup or directly in milk—then whisk matcha with hot water until frothy. Combine the two with your milk of choice, add a touch of sweetener, and serve warm or iced. It's a process that feels more like a calming ritual than a recipe.
