Description
A smooth and creamy Matcha Latte recipe that combines finely whisked matcha green tea powder with warm milk and a hint of honey for a naturally sweetened, energizing beverage perfect for any time of day.
Ingredients
Matcha Mixture
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 teaspoon honey (or sweetener of choice)
Milk
- 1 ½ cups milk of choice
Instructions
- Sift Matcha Powder: In a small bowl or mug, sift the matcha green tea powder to remove any clumps, ensuring a smooth consistency for your latte.
- Whisk Matcha and Water: Add the hot water to the sifted matcha powder. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is smooth and forms a light frothy layer on top.
- Add Sweetener: Stir in the honey or your preferred sweetener until it completely dissolves into the matcha mixture.
- Heat Milk: Warm the milk in a cup or small saucepan for about 1 minute until hot but not boiling.
- Combine and Froth: Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the warm milk while whisking or using a frother to blend them evenly and create a creamy texture.
- Serve Immediately: Enjoy your freshly prepared matcha latte right away for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a fine sieve to sift matcha powder to avoid graininess.
- Adjust sweetness according to taste or use alternative sweeteners like maple syrup or agave syrup.
- For a vegan version, opt for plant-based milks such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Do not boil the milk to preserve flavor and prevent scalding.
- Whisking vigorously or using a milk frother helps achieve a frothy texture.
