Ingredients 
 

  • 1 tsp Matcha powder
  • 3/4 cup Almond Milk or oat milk or regular milk
  • ¼ cup hot water
  • 1 tsp maple syrup
  • Vanilla extract optional

Instructions 

Step 1: Sift the Matcha

  • Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha into a mug or bowl to remove lumps. This ensures a smooth, clump-free latte.

Step 2: Add Hot Water

  • Heat water to 175°F (or let boiled water sit for a minute). Add 2 ounces (¼ cup) to the sifted matcha to create a concentrate.

Step 3: Whisk Until Frothy

  • Whisk vigorously in a zig-zag motion until fully dissolved and frothy. No whisk? Use a milk frother, shake in a jar, or stir hard with a spoon. Aim for a smooth, lump-free matcha shot.

Step 4: Sweeten (Optional)

  • Add sweetener like honey or sugar to the warm concentrate and stir to dissolve. Doing this before the milk helps it blend better.

Step 5: Heat & Froth Milk

  • Heat milk to about 150°F (steaming, not boiling). Froth using a frother, whisk by hand, or shake in a sealed jar. Foam is optional but adds a nice touch.

Step 6: Combine

  • Pour the hot milk into the matcha concentrate. Stir gently to mix. Spoon foam on top if available. Sweeten now if you didn’t earlier.

Step 7: Enjoy

  • Your matcha latte is ready! Optionally dust with matcha on top or try simple latte art. Sip and enjoy the calm energy.
