How To
Brew Frigg
"Lavender, lemongrass, pomelo, rosemary. This coffee already knew what you were going to order."

Espresso Grind

What the Frigg as espresso concentrates those floral and herbal aromatics into something almost perfume-like in the best possible way. The Bourbon varietal's natural sweetness comes forward as a honey-caramel base while the lavender and lemongrass lift off the top of the shot like a botanical bloom. Bright, sweet, and genuinely unlike any espresso you've had before.

Best for: Espresso machines, Moka pot, AeroPress with pressure.
The Frigg's Lavender Honey Latte
Serves 1
Ingredients
  • 2 shots What the Frigg espresso
  • 1 cup oat milk
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon lavender syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
  1. 1.Pull 2 shots of espresso and pour into your mug.
  2. 2.Add honey and sea salt into the hot espresso. Stir until fully dissolved.
  3. 3.Steam oat milk until silky and frothy.
  4. 4.Pour steamed milk over the espresso, holding back the foam with a spoon.
  5. 5.Spoon foam over the top.
  6. 6.Drizzle lavender syrup over the foam in a slow spiral.
  7. 7.Serve immediately.

The lavender syrup leans directly into the natural lavender note already in the coffee. The honey amplifies the Bourbon varietal's sweetness. The sea salt ties everything together and keeps it from being cloying.

Frigg's Golden Affogato
Serves 1
Ingredients
  • 2 shots What the Frigg espresso, hot
  • 2 generous scoops vanilla bean ice cream
  • 2 tablespoons caramel syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • Optional: extra caramel drizzle for garnish
  • Substitute sweetener: pure maple syrup + a pinch of cinnamon
Instructions
  1. 1.Pull 2 fresh shots of espresso and set aside. Do not let them cool.
  2. 2.Place 2 generous scoops of vanilla bean ice cream into a wide mug or dessert bowl.
  3. 3.Drizzle caramel syrup over the ice cream.
  4. 4.Add a pinch of sea salt directly over the caramel.
  5. 5.Pour the hot espresso shots slowly over the ice cream so they cascade down the sides.
  6. 6.Add an extra drizzle of caramel over the top if using.
  7. 7.Serve immediately with a spoon and eat it before it melts into something even better.

The hot espresso hits the cold ice cream and creates a river of sweet, floral, caffeinated magic in the bowl. The caramel deepens the natural sweetness of the espresso and wraps around the Bourbon varietal's honey notes perfectly. The sea salt keeps everything balanced and makes every flavor taste more alive. This is the dessert that makes people put their phones down. Substitute the caramel for pure maple syrup and a pinch of cinnamon for a cozier, earthier version that leans into the herbal rosemary note in the coffee — especially perfect in the fall.


Coarse Grind

The slow extraction of a coarse grind softens the bright citrus edge and pulls forward the deeper, more herbaceous side of this coffee. The rosemary note becomes more pronounced, the body fills out into something smooth and almost savory-sweet, and the finish lingers with a clean botanical quality. This is the meditative version of What the Frigg.

Best for: French press, cold brew, percolator.

  7. 7.Serve immediately with a long spoon.

The lemon sorbet melts into the coffee and amplifies the citrus and floral notes already in the cup. The lavender ice cream version leans into the lavender note for something that feels almost dessert-like. Either way it is stunning.

This is the Starbucks iced vanilla latte experience built on a coffee with natural floral and citrus notes that make the vanilla taste brighter and more interesting than anything off a menu. The sweet cream on top is the move.


Standard Grind

This is where What the Frigg lives most naturally for everyday brewing. The medium grind balances all five of its flavor layers, bright citrus upfront, floral mid-cup, herbal finish, without over-extracting any single note. Clean, approachable, and complex enough to reward attention without demanding it.

Best for: Pour-over, drip coffee maker, AeroPress.

Coconut milk adds a tropical sweetness that echoes the lemongrass note. Oat milk keeps it clean and lets the floral complexity come through. Either way the lavender syrup ties the whole drink together in a way that feels completely intentional.

The vanilla and cinnamon add warmth and sweetness that complement the floral and herbal notes without competing with them. The sea salt pulls the brightness forward and makes the whole cup taste more alive.


Sweetener
Options

Every recipe above works with any of these sweeteners. Swap freely based on what you have, what you love, or what mood you're in. Start with the suggested amount and adjust to taste.

🍯 Honey
The natural choice for this coffee. Honey adds a warm, floral sweetness that leans directly into the lavender and botanical notes already in the cup. Raw or wildflower honey works best. Start with 1 tablespoon and adjust to taste.
🍦 Vanilla Syrup
The most familiar option. Sweet, clean, and crowd-pleasing. A pump or two of store-bought vanilla syrup keeps it simple and approachable for anyone who just wants a delicious sweet coffee without overthinking it.
🤎 Brown Sugar Syrup
Mix equal parts brown sugar and hot water, stir until dissolved, and let cool. Adds a warm, molasses-tinged sweetness with a subtle caramel depth that plays beautifully against the citrus brightness of this coffee. This is the one that makes people ask what you put in it.
💜 Lavender Syrup
For the adventurous sweet tooth. Lavender syrup leans fully into the floral note already in the coffee and turns this into something that feels genuinely special. Available at most grocery stores or easy to make at home. A little goes a long way, start with half a tablespoon.
🍁 Maple Syrup
A warm, earthy sweetness that adds depth without overpowering the floral complexity. Pure maple syrup, not pancake syrup, pairs surprisingly well with the herbal notes in this coffee. Great for fall or anyone who wants something a little cozier.
🌴 Coconut Sugar
A less refined sweetener with a subtle caramel and butterscotch quality. Dissolves easily and adds sweetness without the sharp spike of white sugar. A good option for anyone watching refined sugar intake but still wanting something sweet and satisfying.
🌵 Agave Nectar
Light, neutral, and dissolves instantly even in cold drinks without stirring. Sweeter than sugar so use slightly less than you think you need. Great for anyone who wants clean sweetness without any added flavor.
🥛 Oat Milk Barista Blend
Not a sweetener on its own but worth mentioning. Oat Milk Barista Blend is naturally sweeter than regular oat milk and creates a creamier, fuller drink without adding any syrup at all. Swapping your regular milk for a barista blend does a lot of the work for you.
