Healthy and Flavorful Matcha Latte Recipe


  • Author: Elizabeth
  • Total Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons (10 ml) ceremonial-grade matcha powder
• 2 tablespoons (30 ml) hot water (just off the boil)
• 1 cup (240 ml) of your preferred milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)
• 1-2 teaspoons (5-10 ml) of honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)


Instructions

  1. Prepare the Matcha: In a small bowl or matcha whisk (chasen), combine the ceremonial-grade matcha powder and the hot water. Using a small whisk or a spoon, whisk the mixture vigorously in a back-and-forth motion until it becomes smooth and frothy. This step is crucial for fully dissolving the matcha and creating a rich, creamy base for the latte.
  2. Heat the Milk: In a small saucepan or milk frother, heat the milk of your choice over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired temperature, typically around 150°F (65°C). Alternatively, you can use a milk frother to heat and froth the milk simultaneously.
  3. Combine the Matcha and Milk: Slowly pour the hot milk into the prepared matcha, whisking continuously to incorporate the two components. This step helps to create a smooth, homogeneous mixture and a beautifully layered latte.
  4. Sweeten to Taste (Optional): If you prefer a slightly sweeter Matcha Latte, add 1-2 teaspoons of honey or maple syrup and whisk gently to combine.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Pour the Matcha Latte into your favorite mug or glass. Optionally, you can top it with a light dusting of additional matcha powder or a drizzle of honey for a visually appealing presentation.
