Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Latte Base
  • 1 tsp Matcha Green Tea Powder High quality ceremonial grade recommended
  • 2 tbsp Hot Water About 175°F (80°C)
  • 1.5 tsp Honey Adjust to taste
Milk & Assembly
  • 1 cup Milk of choice Dairy, almond, or oat milk work well
  • 2-3 cubes Ice Optional, for iced version

Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a small bowl or mug, sift the matcha green tea powder to break up any clumps.
  2. Add the 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling) to the sifted matcha. Whisk vigorously using a small whisk (chasen) or a milk frother until a smooth, bright green, frothy mixture forms with no clumps.
  3. Add the honey to the matcha mixture and whisk briefly until it is dissolved into the concentrate.
  4. If making a hot latte, heat the milk until steaming, frothing slightly if desired. If making an iced latte, pour the milk over the ice in your serving glass.
  5. Slowly pour the warmed or cold milk directly into the center of the matcha mixture.
  6. Gently stir or use a spoon to lightly swirl the milk into the green tea base before serving. Do not over-mix if you want a layered look.

Notes

For an extra flavor dimension, substitute maple syrup for honey. Ensure the matcha is whisked thoroughly; hot water that is too hot will make the matcha taste bitter. This recipe is easily doubled.
