You need this Lavender Coffee Recipe in your life today!

To know me, is to know just how much I love that morning cup of coffee. 

What Makes this Lavender Coffee INCREDIBLE!

First, so that we are clear, when I create recipes and give food and drink ideas for A Gutsy Girl the one thing I always aim for is, “How is this benefitting the gut?” I don’t believe we have to give up our favorite things – i.e. coffee – in order to heal.

I do believe that sometimes, many times, we just have to figure out a way to take the things we love and change them them up a bit.

So here are the things that make this Lavender Coffee recipe not only incredible, but also incredible for your gut:

Coffee

Now, obviously in order to make this delicious drink you need the coffee. And I also know that many gut healing “gurus” will tell you that you have to cut that cup of hot coffee for healing. I’m here to tell you that might NOT. And, in fact, I still healed and drank coffee.

One of my secrets for still enjoying it, though, was making sure there was a perfect balance of coffee meets milk of sorts (you know, to dilute it).

The key here is that your coffee is high quality, organic, and that you aren’t over-doing it (i.e. living off caffeine all day long for energy).

To make this drink, you simply need a basic coffee maker or even a simple french press. No need for any fancy espresso maker. You CAN, if you want, but you do not need to.

I didn’t for this Lavender coffee recipe.

Milk

For my recipe below, you’ll make note that I used reduced fat coconut milk. I only used the reduced fat so that it was a creamy milk in texture vs. thicker (like I would use for a pudding of sorts).

Coconut was a huge staple on my healing journey, but more so than that, I just love the taste of it.

You might not, and that’s okay. But if you’re focused on healing your gut, then the kind of milk you use does matter. Here are the milks I might recommend choosing from:

• Whole milk, organic OR raw milk. While I realize that dairy milk is always getting a bad reputation in the gut healing world, it’s not an absolute. 
• Unsweetened, plant-based milks with just 2 ingredients (nut + milk): Almond milk, walnut milk, hazelnut milk, cashew milk (HERE is a great guide for these + more)

Lavender flavor

Okay, this one is key.

See below for more information on why lavender, but most lavender coffee drinks will use a standard lavender simple syrup.

NOT this one. NOT us.

We make our own with simple ingredients.

Instead of a traditional homemade lavender syrup, you’ll infuse the milk with fresh lavender and a little sweetener. That’s it.

Typically when you make your own lavender syrup it’s water, sugar, and lavender. Then, you strain and have your own lavender simple syrup, a lavender water of sorts.

For this recipe, we are simply skipping the stop of making lavender syrup as a stand along ingredient and simply merging it right into the finished product.

Collagen

I never go a day without infusing collagen right into my coffee.

It’s the perfect way to boost coffee with protein + the gut-healing goods! 

Re-Build contains a unique blend of three patented collagen peptides supported by clinical research showing their efficacy for supporting collagen production, bone strength, joint health and integrity, skin elasticity, and more.

My collagen is part of our Gut Lining Bundle because that’s the intention — to help re-build your gut lining! 

Why Lavender?

Well, I am obsessed with the fresh floral flavor of lavender, but here are some other health benefits of culinary lavender buds (according to Everyday Health):

• Could help treat skin blemishes like acne
• May offer a natural remedy for pain
• Helps combat fungus growth, such as C. albicans
• Might reduce stress

And, in fact, one study found “that consumption of lavender herbal tea can reduce depression and anxiety scores and since it is inexpensive and accessible, it is suggested to be used as a complementary treatment in reducing anxiety and depression.”

Even more benefits of the tea include:

• sedative effects (sleep aid)
• reduces inflammation
• supports the digestive system (amen!)
• boosts immune health

But again, the great thing about lavender is that it just tastes incredible!
