FAQ
Reader questions
Does the lavender flavor taste perfumed or natural?
The lavender note comes from a commercial syrup designed for consistent aroma, so it reads as botanical but clearly flavored rather than purely herbal.
Can I make this drink dairy free?
Yes, choosing a plant-based milk such as oat or almond milk effectively removes dairy while preserving the overall flavor balance.
Is there an extra charge for alternative milk?
Some locations apply a small surcharge for non-dairy milk options, so it is wise to confirm pricing at the register or within the app.
Can I add an espresso shot to this beverage?
Adding a shot turns the drink into a lavender vanilla latte, introducing gentle coffee bitterness that complements the sweet floral profile.
