Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea powder
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tablespoon Erythritol or preferred keto sweetener
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Coconut oil or MCT oil (optional)
- 3 pieces Ice cubes
Instructions
Start by sifting the matcha green tea powder into a small bowl to remove any lumps, ensuring a smooth texture when mixed.
Add the hot water to the matcha powder and whisk vigorously in a zigzag pattern until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy. A bamboo matcha whisk (chasen) is ideal, but a small regular whisk will also work.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the unsweetened almond milk until it is steaming, but do not let it come to a boil.
Stir in the erythritol (or your preferred keto sweetener) and vanilla extract into the almond milk, mixing until the sweetener is completely dissolved.
If you're using coconut oil or MCT oil for added keto benefits, add it to the saucepan and stir until well combined and melted.
Combine the whisked matcha and sweetened almond milk in a blender, adding the ice cubes for an iced version. Blend on high for about 30 seconds until frothy and well combined.
Pour the frothy matcha latte into a serving glass. Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly almond milk matcha latte.
