Matcha Mixture

Method

Preparing Matcha

  1. 1

    Sift Matcha Powder

    Use a fine mesh sieve to sift 2 teaspoons of matcha powder into a bowl to remove any clumps.

  2. 2

    Add Hot Water

    Pour 3 ounces of hot water (around 175°F or 80°C) into the bowl with the sifted matcha powder.

  3. 3

    Whisk the Mixture

    Using a bamboo whisk (chasen) or a regular whisk, whisk the matcha and water together in a zigzag motion until it becomes frothy and well combined.

Preparing Milk Base

  1. 4

    Heat the Milk

    In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm 9 ounces of milk (dairy or non-dairy) until steaming but not boiling.

  2. 5

    Add Sweetener and Vanilla

    Stir in 1 teaspoon of your chosen sweetener and 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract into the warmed milk until dissolved.

  3. 6

    Froth the Milk (optional)

    If desired, use a milk frother to froth the milk to create a creamy texture.

Combining Ingredients

  1. 7

    Combine Matcha and Milk

    In a large mug, pour the frothed milk mixture over the whisked matcha. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 8

    Serve and Enjoy

    Your matcha latte is now ready! Optionally, top with a sprinkle of matcha powder or cinnamon for extra flavor and serve immediately.
