Method

COFFEE

1

Bloom and whisk the matcha

Sift 2 teaspoons ceremonial-grade matcha powder into a mug or small bowl. Pour 60 ml of hot water (about 70-80°C) over the matcha and whisk vigorously with a bamboo chasen or whisk until a smooth, vibrant green paste forms with no lumps.

2

Sweeten the base

Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla syrup into the matcha paste, ensuring it is fully integrated. If using additional sugar, add 1 teaspoon now or to taste.

3

Heat and steam the milk

Warm 200 ml of milk of choice in a small saucepan over medium heat until just steaming, or steam with a milk frother until foamy. Do not boil. Remove from heat.

4

Combine and froth

Pour the steamed milk into the matcha mixture. Whisk vigorously or use a frother to create a creamy, velvety latte with a light layer of microfoam on top.

5

Finish and serve

Taste and adjust sweetness with extra sugar if desired. Pour into a warm mug and enjoy your La La Land-inspired Matcha latte.
