I've been obsessed with London Fog's since I started working at Starbucks in University. If you're out of the loop - a London Fog is a combination of Earl Grey tea, vanilla, sugar and steamed milk. It's totally reminiscent of the milk at the bottom of a bowl of fruit loops.

Our version uses honey instead of sugar, plus we've added dried lavender for an added layer of flavour. And we're pretty stoked about how it turned out. We paired this latte with our banana bread overnight oats, but it's perfect for just about any breakfast or on its own in the afternoon.

Earl Grey tea bag

1 tbs of dried lavender inside a permanent or disposable tea filter/bag

1/2 tsp of vanilla extract

1 tbs of honey

3/4 cup of steamed milk/plant based milk

Boiling water

1. Fill a mug halfway with boiling water and add the lavender, Earl Grey tea bag.

2. Add in the honey and stir until dissolved, followed by the vanilla extract.

3. Top with steamed milk/plant based milk.

4. Sip away, taking pride that you made such a delicious drink.

Calming lavender, tart lemons, sweet simple syrup, and bubbly sparkling water come together in this divine sparkling lavender lemonade. It's easy to make and a perfect, spa-like addition to your summer.

What is Lavender Lemonade?

This sparkling lemonade drink is made with fresh lemons and a hint of lavender oil to give it hints of herbs, flowers, and herbs that blends perfectly with the tartness in the lemons.

You may have seen this on the drink menu at Outback Steakhouse, but our version skips the alcohol for a family-friendly sipper you will enjoy poolside, weekend brunches, and more all summer long!

If you love this lemonade recipe, you might also enjoy this Grilled Lemonade that delivers a truly unique flavor or this Brazilian Limeade for a lime-flavored variation!

Why You Will Love This Recipe

Lemonade + Summer equals a match made in heaven!

Easy to make using simple, natural, and wholesome ingredients.

Versatile recipe so you can make it how you like your lemonade!

A tasty way to deliver the calming benefits of lavender.

What is Lavender Lemonade Made of?

This sparkling lemonade with lavender is super simple. You'll need:

Lemons: Fresh is ALWAYS best for lemonade.

Sugar: Heated with water to make a quick simple syrup. You can also use your favorite no-sugar substitute or liquid sweetener such as agave syrup.

Sparkling water: To give it bubbles.

Lavender extract: While you can use fresh lavender or dried lavender, I like to use culinary-grade lavender essential oil. I find the lavender essential oil the easiest method to achieve the desired flavor. See the notes below.

Violet food coloring: Totally optional but it's a great way to make it look more like the color of lavender.

Pro Tip: It's important to use food-grade extract or essential oil. Not all essential oils are created equally and since you are drinking it this is definitely a MUST.

Variations

Blueberry lavender lemonade: This flavor takes even more inspiration from the Outback blueberry lavender lemonade. Muddle some fresh blueberries in the bottom of the glass and add more for garnish.

Strawberry lavender lemonade: Same as the blueberry but with strawberries instead.

Lavender mint lemonade: Mix it up with some fresh mint leaves combined with the lavender. They are complementary flavors and work really well together!

More flavor options: Vanilla, rosemary, and honey are also flavors that work well with lavender and would taste great in a lemonade.

How to Make Lavender Lemonade

Are you ready to make some of this fresh purple lavender lemonade recipe? Here's an overview but be sure to check the recipe card for the details.

1. Juice your lemons. Use a large citrus press or a citrus reamer to get the maximum amount of juice from your lemons.

2. Combine equal parts sugar and water in a saucepan.

3. Heat until the sugar is dissolved. Set it aside to cool.

4. Pour cooled simple syrup into a pitcher.

1. Add the freshly squeezed lemon juice to the container.

2. Followed by a few drops of lavender extract.

3. Add the food coloring to the pitcher as well if you're using it.

4. Pour in the sparkling water and mix it together.

Serve up the sparkling lemonade over ice and garnish with fresh lemons and sprigs of fresh lavender or other complementary herbs such as rosemary and mint.

How to Store

If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge with a tight-fitting lid. The bubbles will eventually dissipate and you will be left with a still lavender-flavored lemonade rather than a bubbly one.

Can I make this homemade lemonade in advance?

No, not completely. You can juice your lemons, make the simple syrup, and mix up the base in advance but it's best to wait to add the sparkling water right before serving.

Can I make this sparkling lemonade recipe for a group?

Yes, you can! Make as much as you want! I suggest making the lemonade base ahead of time and storing it in the fridge. Serve it in a carafe or pitcher on the counter with a bowl or ice bucket of ice, and sparkling soda on the side.

How to Serve

This lavender sparkling lemonade recipe is perfect for:

a summer afternoon

a brunch

backyard bbq

Easter

Mother's day

a bridal shower

a baby shower

For variety, serve it up with other lemonade options such as this Classic Lemonade Recipe and Strawberry Basil Lemonade.

Expert Tips and FAQs

Use a high-quality, food-grade, or culinary lavender essential oil or extract.

Roll your lemons before cutting them in half to release some of the juices and make them easier to squeeze.

Add the sparkling water just before serving.

Serve cold, over ice for the best flavor and temperature.

Adjust the sweetness or tartness to your own taste by adding more lemon or sweetener.

What are the effects of drinking lavender?

I think every mom out there needs a little R&R, and this lemonade is just that. Lavender is kind of the Swiss Army knife of home remedies. It aids in: insomnia,
anxiety, headaches, depression, allergies, the common cold, stress, and skin irritations. And that is only naming a few. So why not add a little lavender to your lemonade?

Does lavender lemonade make you sleepy?

No, not really. Lavender does generally have a relaxing quality and will help produce calming sensations but it shouldn't make you sleepy unless you are already on the sleepy side of things.

This all-natural copycat of a Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice Cider tastes like warm apple pie topped with vanilla ice cream...in a mug!
Oh my word, y'all. Move over hot chocolate...I have a new favorite warm drink for chilly days! This Caramel Apple Cider is, simply put, amazing.

In fact, I can't really think of a better description than what I wrote in the flowery line at the top of this post. It tastes just like warm, spiced apple pie topped with rich, creamy vanilla ice cream...except in beverage form!

If you've ever had a Starbucks Caramel Apple Spice, you're already familiar with the phenomenon that is apple cider on steroids. Because as delicious as a plain and simple warm apple cider is on a blustery day, sometimes it can't really compete with luscious, decadent hot chocolate. But this drink...this drink will give regular ol' hot cocoa a run for its money!

Ingredients

Like the Starbucks drink that it mimics, this apple "cider" begins with a base of apple juice, although you can certainly use actual cider if you happen to have some on hand.

It's flavored with my quick and easy Homemade Cinnamon Syrup (which calls for ground cinnamon as opposed to cinnamon sticks, since most people already stock the former in their spice cabinets).

Then it's topped with light, fresh whipped cream and drizzled with a gooey caramel sauce.

I use my 5-Minute, 5-Ingredient Homemade Caramel Sauce because it's, well, ready in five minutes...not to mention the fact that it's eat-with-a-spoon divine. If you decide to make your own caramel sauce as well, just do so a bit ahead of time so that it can cool and thicken a bit and doesn't melt your whipped cream on contact!

Set Up an "Apple Cider Bar"!

And you know what else? This recipe can easily be multiplied in order to whip up a whole big batch of apple cider!

Serve it out of a slow cooker at your next fall gathering, Halloween shin-dig, or holiday party as part of an "apple cider bar," complete with a bowl of whipped cream for dolloping and a jar of caramel syrup for drizzling.

That way your guests can dress up their drinks to their liking!

That's it...Caramel Apple Cider that's beyond simple and scrumptious! So bring on fall, y'all...I know exactly how I'm going to stay warm and cozy this year. 😉

More Cozy Drinks

To make approximately 2 cups of fresh WHIPPED CREAM, start with 1 cup chilled heavy cream. Use an electric mixer to beat at medium speed until soft peaks just begin to appear. Sprinkle ¼ cup (sifted) powdered sugar and 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract over the whipped cream and beat at medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Do not overbeat! Whipped cream may be tightly covered and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. ***This amount of whipped cream is enough to top 4 to 6 servings of Caramel Apple Cider, so reduce or multiply it accordingly, depending on how many servings you wish to make.***

Bring apple juice to a low simmer in a small pot set over medium heat (or warm it in the microwave). Transfer to a large mug and stir in 1 tablespoon Homemade Cinnamon Syrup (or more, to taste). Top with a generous dollop of fresh whipped cream and drizzle with 1 tablespoon Homemade Caramel Sauce. Serve warm.

To make a large batch of apple cider in the crock pot, multiply this single recipe by your number of desired servings, keeping in mind the maximum capacity of your slow cooker. Pour the apple juice in the slow cooker and flavor it with the cinnamon syrup. Set out a chilled bowl of whipped cream, a jar of caramel sauce, and a bunch of mugs for people to dress up their drinks.

This recipe for Coconut Chai Tea Latte is a simple way to take a basic chai tea latte up a notch or two in flavor. Creamy coconut milk is blended into chai tea for a warm, comforting beverage that is lower in fat and sugar, but full of flavor!

As I continue on my keto journey, I am constantly learning about new ways to make the foods that I love more keto-friendly. This simple recipe for a Coconut Chai Tea Latte is the perfect example of how one little substitution can make a big difference!

I don't eat many keto sweets, but I do love chai tea lattes and have 1-2 a day. Previously, I was making my chai tea lattes with 1-2 tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and a packet of stevia/erythritol blended sugar substitute. I'd often go over my ideal fat intake for the day.

Needless to say, I was super excited to learn that by swapping out heavy whipping cream for unsweetened coconut milk, I could reduce my fat (and dairy) intake. It doesn't hurt that coconut is one of my all time favorite flavors. These Coconut Chai Tea Lattes are delicious and just as creamy as if you used heavy whipping cream!

Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk

It's no secret that I am a big fan of Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk. Ever since my first bite of Creamy Coconut Rice, it's all that I use and the only brand I ever recommend. Their fresh, authentic flavors and ingredients make it easy to add delicious Thai flavor to all kinds of dishes!

Besides being a great option for those following a low carb or keto diet, Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk is also gluten free, dairy free, paleo, and vegan.

Ever wonder how coconut milk is made? Me too! I found it really interesting to know that Thai Kitchen makes it's coconut milk by soaking the white insides of fresh coconuts in water. The solids are strained out, leaving behind just the "milk." The only ingredients in Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk are coconut, water, and guar gum - a plant-based natural thickener for added creaminess.

You can find Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk on or at your local grocery store. I picked up a few cans at Food Lion to make my daily Coconut Chai Tea Lattes!

How to Make a Coconut Chai Tea Latte

Prep!

There isn't any real prep to this simple chai recipe. Just be sure to give your can of Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk a good shaking before you open it.

Create!

Add a chai tea bag to a mug with 6-8 ounces of hot water. Let it steep for about 4 minutes.

Whisk in 2 tablespoons of Thai Kitchen Coconut Milk and one packet of a keto-approved sugar substitute.

Present!

Top with a couple of pieces of star anise, if desired.

Serve hot and enjoy!

Tips and Techniques for the Best Coconut Chai Tea Latte

Be sure to give your can of coconut milk a really good shake before opening it. You can also whisk it once opened if there is still some clumping.

It is recommend to use a sweetener made with a blend stevia and erythritol.

Store extra coconut milk in an air-tight container in the refrigerator and shake or whisk before using it again as coconut milk naturally separates and solidifies.

What Are Some Other Ways to Use Coconut Milk?

stir it into tea and coffee

use it to replace heavy cream in recipes

add it to soups, curries, and sauces

mix it into smoothies

stir it into oatmeal

...and more!

This post may contain affiliate links. See my disclosure policy here.

As they say, "time flies when you're having fun," and I guess that is all too true because I simply can't believe summer is past and fall is here.

The swim bag has now been exchanged for bookbags, and lazy mornings are now a hustle and bustle with the new school and work routines.

While the tears dry from another summer behind us, I think it is time to look forward to the many pleasures of fall. The most important being everything pumpkin-themed.

I'm absolutely in love with pumpkin - real pumpkin - and each season I tell myself I'm going to stock up with enough pumpkin to last me until the next season. I should realize by now that is a futile dream as each can of pumpkin puree is gobbled up faster than it enters the house.

How to Order a Vanilla Iced Chai Latte at Starbucks

If you're looking to treat yourself to a Vanilla Iced Chai Latte of your own, here's what you need to know. Firstly, make sure you order a "Grande." That's the medium size - any smaller and you won't get enough Vanilla Iced Chai Latte goodness, any larger and you'll be swimming in it (trust me, I've made this mistake before). Secondly, be specific when ordering - don't just say "chai latte," ask for a "Vanilla Iced Chai Latte." That's it! Easy peasy.

Tips for Making an Iced Chai Latte

Steep the tea. To get the most flavor, be sure to steep the tea for 5-minutes.

Add syrup while hot. Add the vanilla syrup when the tea is hot. This will combine the tea and syrup flavors better than if it's cool.

Let it cool before adding ice. Allow the tea to cool before you add the ice. If you don't, the ice will melt and make a watered down drink.

Can I Use Chai Concentrate?

Yes, Chai concentrate is a great way to make a delicious Vanilla Iced Chai Latte. If you choose to use the concentrate, you would just need to add the vanilla syrup to the it along with the milk. I love using the Tazo chai concentrate with my homemade vanilla syrup and whipped cream.

Is There Caffeine in This Drink?

Yes! Chai tea generally contains caffeine, but the amount can vary depending on how it's prepared. When made with tea bags or loose-leaf tea, chai will contain more caffeine than when made with instant tea powder.

What is a Dirty Chai Latte?

A Dirty Chai Latte is a delicious twist on the classic Chai Latte. It's made by combining a strong brewed cup of black tea with a traditional masala chai spice mix, and then adding steamed milk and a shot of espresso. The result is a rich, creamy drink that has all the flavor of a Chai Latte but with an added boost of caffeine. A Dirty Chai Latte is the perfect drink for any coffee lover who is looking for something new to try.

Can I Double the Recipe?

Absolutely! If you know you'll want more than 1, go ahead and double the recipe. But, don't add the ice until you are ready to drink the second glass.

Other Chai Drinks to Try

I have so many other delicious chai tea recipes! Here are a few of my favorites:

HAPPY MONDAY! I have spent a long time curating this list of NON-COFFEE STARBUCKS DRINKS. As someone who doesn't really drink coffee but LOVES Starbucks - I knew I needed to find some alternatives. I have pretty much hacked the Starbies menu to make anything coffee-free and delicious, and I wanted to share my list with all of you! I've broken it down to iced, frappes and hot so you can pick your favorite for the day AND included some tips to making your faves coffee-free even if they aren't on this secret menu. There are 40+ drinks on this list, and as I try more - I will continue to add!!

ULTIMATE LIST OF NON-COFFEE STARBUCKS DRINKS!

PRO TIP: You can turn almost any drink on the menu into a steamer! That means the flavor is all there, but it uses milk as the base instead of coffee. SO if your favorite coffee drink isn't on this menu and you are looking for a non-coffee alternative - try ordering exactly what you usually do but ask for it as a steamer instead of a coffee!

ANOTHER PRO TIP: I always ask for LIGHT ICE when ordering iced drinks because I get more drink for my dollar. Starbucks notoriously overfills the cups with ice, so I never feel like I get a full cup. Light ice chills the drink without overloading it.

PRO TIP NUMBER 3: If you get nervous ordering these drinks at the counter or drive through (some of them have lots of instructions), order them in the app! The instructions will be printed out for the barista and you can just pick up at the counter. Then you don't have to worry about trying to give instructions with a line of people behind you. 😉

**always double check the Starbuck's menu to see how much caffeine is in each drink because the teas DO have caffeine in them so I can't guarantee they are caffeine-free!!**

Sipping on an iced English tea latte is sure to hit the spot on a hot summer day! Incredibly easy to make with just two ingredients, you can enjoy this luscious coffee shop quality beverage at home any time you want and for a fraction of the cost!
Hot days call for a refreshing cold drink.

You could certainly swing by your favorite coffee shop to pick up an iced caffeinated drink...

...like an iced English tea latte...

...and pay a few dollars for it...

...and have it served a plastic disposable cup, no less.

Why do that when you can make your own refreshing luscious drink, served in a real glass, and for a fraction of the cost, without actually leaving home? This iced English tea latte

Only Two Ingredients

Since this is called a latte, that means there has to be milk. The other ingredient is tea bags. Milk and tea...that's the bare minimum this drink needs...and that's just TWO ingredients! You could add sweetener if you'd like, but I find that milk is sweet enough on its own so that I don't add any. That being said, even if you do add sweetener, that would still only be three ingredients.

The difference between this tea and any other regular tea is that the tea bags are steeped in hot milk instead of hot water. Steeping in milk makes the tea richer and creamier. Chill it and serve it over ice and you've got one luscious drink.

All you need to do is heat the milk in a pot on the stove until it's hot and then pour it over a couple of tea bags in a measuring glass. Then you let it steep for 10 minutes.

Ten minutes may seem like a long time, but the tea takes longer to steep in milk than it does in water, and you also want a really nice deep tea flavor. After 10 minutes, you'll also have a beautiful rich tea color which, I think, only adds to its deliciousness!

After the steeping is done, it's time to remove and discard the tea bags, then let the tea cool down a bit before transferring it to the fridge. To prevent a skin from forming on the tea, I like to cover the measuring cup with a towel, which also absorbs any condensation that might drip back into the tea. Once the tea has cooled down enough, I loosely cover the measuring cup with plastic wrap and transfer it to the fridge to get all nice and cold.

What Milk and Tea Should You Use?

I use regular full-fat dairy milk. I like the flavor of it, and the creaminess gives a nice body and richness to the tea.

That being said, you can really use whatever milk you want. If you are dairy-free, use a nut milk like almond milk, or soy, coconut, or oat milk. Except for coconut milk, I find that most nut, soy, and oat milks to be thinner, much like if you were to use a lower fat dairy milk.

Black tea is my tea of choice for this recipe, but you can also try using other teas...just make sure you are use tea bags and not loose tea. I'm not sure how this recipe would work with herbal teas as I'm not sure about the herbal milk flavor combination...but if you give it a try, please let me know how it works out in the comments below!

Make A Bottle's Worth

The recipe explains how to make a single serving, but really, you can multiply the servings and have a bottle of cold English tea latte ready and waiting in the fridge! This is definitely worth doing if you want enough to serve to a few people at once, or if you just want to be able to enjoy the tea at a moment's notice.

I simply multiply the recipe by 2 or 3 times, use a larger measuring cup for holding all the milk and tea bags, and follow the same steps for steeping, cooling, and chilling. Then I just transfer the finished product to a bottle or sealable jar and store it in the fridge!

This recipe is a cold adaptation of my Yummy Cuppa English Tea Latte...which is definitely another recipe to bookmark for when temperatures start to get chilly again and a hot drink is preferable! If you're looking for other refreshing drinks to enjoy in the hot weather, check out Cold Brew Coffee Ice Cube Latte, Iced Matcha Tea Latte, or Crazy Easy Triple Layer Iced Coffee. If you aren't in the mood for tea or coffee, there are also Fresh Fruit Sparklers!

Skip the trip to the coffee shop and save yourself some money by making this refreshing iced English tea latte at home. You won't feel like you're missing anything by not going, and you'll be surprised at how easy and delicious it is. Also, it will be all the more enjoyable as you sip it from a real glass and not a plastic cup. 😉
