Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Latte Ingredients
  • 1 tsp Ceremonial Grade Matcha Powder Sifted
  • 1 tsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder High quality
  • 1 tsp Maple Syrup or Honey Adjust to taste
  • 2 tbsp Hot Water Around 175°F (80°C)
Milk Base
  • 8 oz Milk of choice Oat milk or whole milk recommended for best creaminess
  • 1 Optional: Chocolate Shavings For garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl or matcha bowl, combine the sifted matcha powder and cocoa powder. Whisk thoroughly to ensure no clumps remain.
  2. Add the 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling) to the dry ingredients. Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a small electric frother, vigorously whisk in a 'W' or 'M' motion until a smooth, bright green, frothy paste forms, free of lumps.
  3. Stir in the maple syrup or honey directly into the matcha paste until dissolved.
  4. Heat your milk of choice either on the stovetop or by steaming/frothing it until hot and slightly aerated. Ensure the temperature is hot but not scalding (about 150°F to 160°F).
  5. Pour the warmed milk into your serving mug. Slowly pour the prepared chocolate matcha mixture over the milk. Use a spoon if necessary to retain a layer of foam on top.
  6. Garnish with fine chocolate shavings or a light dusting of matcha powder, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For an iced version, skip heating the milk and use 4 oz of cold milk. Mix the matcha paste with 1 oz of hot water, dissolve the sweetener, and pour over ice and the remaining cold milk. Double the cocoa powder for a darker chocolate flavor.
