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 (dairy or plant-based)
Instructions
- Sift Matcha Powder: In a small bowl or mug, sift the matcha green tea powder to remove any clumps, ensuring a smooth latte without gritty bits.
- Whisk Matcha and Water: Add the hot water to the sifted matcha and whisk vigorously until the mixture turns smooth and frothy, typically about 15-30 seconds.
- Add Sweetener: Stir in the honey or your preferred sweetener thoroughly until it fully dissolves into the matcha mixture.
- Heat Milk: Warm the milk in the microwave or on the stove for about 1 minute until hot but not boiling.
- Combine and Froth: Slowly pour the matcha mixture over the warm milk while using a whisk or milk frother to blend the tea and milk evenly, creating a creamy, frothy latte.
- Serve: Enjoy your freshly made Matcha Latte immediately for the best flavor and texture.
Notes
- Use a fine-mesh sifter to ensure the matcha powder is free from lumps.
- Adjust sweetness to taste by adding more or less honey or alternative sweeteners.
- Any type of milk works well including dairy, almond, soy, oat, or coconut milk depending on your dietary preference.
- For a chilled version, let the milk cool, then pour over ice after combining with the matcha mixture.
- Matcha quality varies—using ceremonial grade matcha will provide a smoother and richer flavor.
