Equipment

• Whisk or electric frother
• Bowl for mixing
• Saucepan (for hot version)
• Tall glass or mug

Ingredients

  

• 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
• 1 cup milk dairy or plant-based
• 1/4 cup hot water not boiling
• 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup optional
• Ice for cold version

Instructions

 

• In a small bowl, sift the matcha powder to remove any clumps.
• Pour 1/4 cup of hot water over the matcha and whisk vigorously using a traditional bamboo whisk or an electric frother until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
• In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling (for hot latte). For a cold latte, skip this step.
• If you like your latte sweetened, add honey or maple syrup to the milk and stir until dissolved.
• For the hot version, pour the frothy matcha into a mug, followed by the warmed milk, and stir gently.
• For the cold version, fill a tall glass with ice, pour the prepared matcha over the ice, and then add the cold milk. Stir and enjoy!
• Optional: Top with additional frothed milk or a dusting of extra matcha for a beautiful finish.

Notes

- For a vegan version, use almond, soy, or oat milk.
- Adjust the sweetness based on your preference, or skip the sweetener altogether for a more traditional matcha experience.
- If you prefer a stronger matcha flavor, increase the matcha powder to 1 ½ teaspoons.
