Lavender Cold Foam
Lavender cold foam is a creamy, floral topping that instantly upgrades any iced drink. Made with homemade lavender syrup and frothed milk or cream, it’s smooth, lightly sweet, and café-style without the price tag. Perfect for cold brew, matcha, or tea lattes when you want something soothing and special.
