How to Make Matcha Latte

 

Matcha Latte

Here’s a simple recipe for making a delicious matcha latte at home:

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon matcha powder
• 2-3 tablespoons hot water (not boiling, about 175°F or 80°C)
• 1 cup milk of your choice (dairy, almond, oat, soy, etc.)
• Sweetener to taste (optional, e.g., honey, maple syrup, or sugar)

Instructions

1. Sift the Matcha

• Sift the matcha powder into a bowl or cup to remove any clumps. This ensures a smooth and lump-free latte.

2. Mix Matcha with Hot Water

• Add 2-3 tablespoons of hot water to the matcha powder.
• Whisk vigorously using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small regular whisk in a zigzag motion until the matcha is dissolved and frothy.

3. Heat the Milk

• Warm your milk on the stove or in the microwave, but do not boil it. For a creamier texture, froth the milk using a frother, blender, or by vigorously shaking it in a jar.

4. Combine

• Pour the warm milk into the cup with the whisked matcha. Stir gently to combine.

5. Sweeten (Optional)

• Add your preferred sweetener and stir.

6. Serve and Enjoy

Sprinkle a little extra matcha powder on top for garnish (optional). Serve immediately and enjoy your soothing matcha latte!
