Use less foam for a smoother latte or extra frothing for thicker café texture. Freeze leftover espresso into cubes for chilled versions later. Pour milk slowly during assembly for prettier layers. Customize flavors with vanilla, honey, or white chocolate. Store unused lavender syrup refrigerated for one week.
