Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoons Matcha powder
- 60 milliliters Hot water
- 240 milliliters Milk (your choice of dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoons Honey or sweetener
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha powder into a bowl or mug. Sifting helps to avoid any lumps in your drink.
Add 60 milliliters of hot water (around 80°C or 176°F) to the matcha powder. Avoid using boiling water to preserve the flavor and nutritional benefits.
Whisk the matcha and hot water together using a bamboo whisk or a small metal whisk until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Whisk in a zigzag motion for better consistency.
In a small saucepan, heat 240 milliliters of milk over medium heat until hot, but not boiling. Alternatively, use a milk frother to warm and froth the milk simultaneously.
Add 1 teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener to the milk and stir until completely dissolved. You can adjust the sweetness to taste.
Optionally, stir in 0.5 teaspoons of vanilla extract for added aroma and flavor.
Pour the milk into the matcha mixture while stirring or pouring in a circular motion to create a nice blend and a frothy top.
Serve immediately while the matcha latte is warm and enjoy your soothing cup of matcha bliss.
