Matcha Latte Recipe

Preparation Steps

1. 1

   Prepare Matcha Mixture

   In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any lumps. Add 60 ml of hot water (not boiling) to the matcha powder.

2. 2

   Whisk the Matcha

   Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a frother, whisk the matcha and water together until it becomes frothy and well combined. This should take about 1-2 minutes.

3. 3

   Heat the Milk

   In a small saucepan, gently heat 240 ml of milk over medium heat. Do not let it boil; you just want it heated through. If using a frother, you can froth the milk directly in the frother.

4. 4

   Combine Matcha and Milk

   Once the milk is heated, pour it into the bowl with the whisked matcha. Stir gently to combine.

5. 5

   Sweeten to Taste

   Add your preferred sweetener to the matcha latte mixture, adjusting the sweetness to your liking. You can also add vanilla extract at this point for extra flavor.

6. 6

   Serve

   If serving hot, pour the matcha latte into your favorite mug. For an iced version, pour the matcha mixture over ice cubes in a glass and then add the milk.
