Tuck Into This Cozy Combination Of Floral Granolas And Lavender London Fog Lattes
With the new year comes a fresh start, and what better way to celebrate a fresh start to the year than with a fresh start to your day? For this month's pairing we are mixing it up again and featuring floral recipes made with our Edible Flower Petals that will inspire you to step up your breakfast game a little bit!
Maybe you're participating in dry-January (why do we do this to ourselves?), or leaning in a little more to health and self-care - OR maybe you just really, really miss brunch! This pairing checks all of those boxes. We have two recipes for floral granola that we are pairing with a Lavender London Fog, or a Lavender Latte if you prefer espresso.

Optional - If you happen to have them on hand, sprinkle the Edible Flower Petals on top when the oat mixture comes out of the oven prior to cooling.
And as for the Lavender London Fog, there are so many different ways you could whip one of these up. We made ours with a lovely Enchanted Lavender Earl Grey loose tea from Old Barrel Tea Co., but if you have regular Earl Grey handy you could stir in a little lavender simple syrup before you pour over frothed milk.
If this doesn't help hold you over until you can brunch with your girlfriends again, then I don't know what will. Well, maybe this + breakfast champagne....
Cheers!
