Optional Toppings:

Instructions
If you're using a French Press, measure 2 tablespoons of coarsely ground coffee per 8 ounces of water. Boil water to about 200°F, pour it over the coffee grounds, and let it steep for 4 minutes. Slowly press down the plunger to separate the grounds. For a quicker option, you can also use leftover brewed coffee or cold brew coffee for an even smoother taste.
Let the brewed coffee cool for a few minutes, or refrigerate it until chilled. This prevents excessive ice melting and keeps your drink perfectly balanced.
Fill two glasses with ice. Then, divide the cooled coffee evenly between the glasses. Add 1-2 tablespoons of lavender syrup and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract to each glass. Stir well to combine.
Pour 1/2 cup of almond milk into each glass, giving it a creamy and smooth finish. Stir gently to mix.
For an extra treat, top your iced coffee with whipped cream and a sprinkle of dried culinary lavender for a beautiful, café-style touch.
Give your drink a final stir and sip away. This Lavender Vanilla Iced Coffee is best enjoyed with a friend or as a relaxing solo treat.
