Same floral-and-white-chocolate pairing as our Standard Lavender White Mocha, rebuilt from our Sugar-Free White Mocha Sauce and Sugar-Free Lavender Syrup instead.
Make Both Bases First (Just Once)
This recipe assumes you already have a jar each of Sugar-Free White Mocha Sauce and Sugar-Free Lavender Syrup in the fridge. The white mocha sauce keeps about a week; the lavender syrup keeps a full 2 weeks.
Building the Drink
- Pull a double shot of espresso (about 2oz) into your cup, or brew a strong coffee/moka pot equivalent.
- Stir in 1 tbsp of the sugar-free white mocha sauce and 1 tbsp of the sugar-free lavender syrup while the espresso is hot.
- Steam or froth 8oz of milk (dairy or an unsweetened alternative) to about 150°F and pour over the espresso mixture.
- Top with sugar-free whipped cream and a pinch of dried culinary lavender if you want the full café look.
Both bases together cost about $9.24 total to make (~$6.00 for the Sugar-Free White Mocha Sauce batch, ~$3.24 for the Sugar-Free Lavender Syrup batch), and each batch covers about 12 drinks.
Assumptions: grande-size drink, national-average specialty-menu café pricing, monk fruit/allulose sweetener at typical grocery/bulk pricing, culinary-grade dried lavender buds at typical specialty-grocery pricing.

FAQ
Do I need to make the sauce and syrup every time I want this drink?
No — each base is its own recipe. One batch of each keeps 1-2 weeks in the fridge and covers about 12 drinks, so this page is just the 5-minute assembly step.
Is the lavender flavor still noticeable without the sugar?
Yes — the floral flavor comes from steeping real culinary lavender buds, not from the sweetener, so swapping to monk fruit/allulose doesn’t dull it. If anything, the lower sweetness lets the floral note come through a bit more clearly.
Can I mix a Standard base with a Sugar-Free base?
You can, if you only have one of the two made — it’ll shift the sugar and cost math toward whichever base is Standard, but the drink still works. We’d recommend keeping both bases the same tier for the cleanest comparison.
