- 1 teaspoon matcha powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water (not boiling)
- 1 cup milk of choice (dairy, almond, soy, or oat)
- 1 teaspoon honey or sweetener of choice (optional)
- Start by sifting the matcha powder into a medium-sized bowl to avoid clumps.
- Add the hot water to the matcha powder. Use a bamboo whisk or milk frother to whisk until the mixture is smooth and frothy.
- In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm, but not boiling.
- Pour the warmed milk into the matcha mixture. Stir well until fully combined.
- Sweeten with honey or your preferred sweetener, adjusting to taste.
- Pour the latte into your favorite mug, sprinkling a pinch of matcha powder on top for an extra touch of elegance.
Helpful Tips:
- For a frothier latte, use a milk frother after heating the milk.
- If you’re new to matcha, start with a smaller amount and gradually increase as you get accustomed to its flavor.
- Substitute regular milk with coconut or oat milk for a unique twist.
