Matcha Latte
Creamy, vibrant, and energizing — this matcha latte recipe blends premium green tea powder with milk for a delicious and antioxidant-rich drink perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp matcha green tea powder (ceremonial or culinary grade)
- 2–3 tbsp hot water (not boiling, about 80°C or 175°F)
- 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based like almond, oat, or soy)
- 1–2 tsp honey, maple syrup, or sugar (optional, to taste)
Instructions
- Sift the matcha into a mug or small bowl to remove lumps.
- Add hot water (not boiling) and whisk vigorously in a zigzag (M or W) motion until smooth and frothy using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or small regular whisk.
- Heat the milk in a saucepan or microwave until warm but not boiling. Froth the milk using a frother, whisk, or by shaking in a jar with a lid.
- Pour the milk into the matcha mixture slowly, holding back the foam with a spoon. Then spoon the foam on top.
- Sweeten to taste with honey, maple syrup, or your preferred sweetener.
