Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea powder
- 60 milliliters Hot water
- 240 milliliters Low-fat milk
- 1 teaspoon Honey or another sweetener (optional)
Instructions
Start by sifting the matcha green tea powder into a cup or small bowl to remove any clumps, ensuring a smooth mixture.
Bring 60 milliliters of water to just below boiling. Typically around 80°C or 176°F is ideal.
Pour the hot water over the sifted matcha powder gradually. Using a bamboo whisk or a small regular whisk, whisk the mixture in a zigzag motion until all the powder is dissolved and the mixture is frothy.
In a small saucepan, heat the low-fat milk over medium heat until it is hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking or burning.
If you desire sweetener, add honey or any sweetener of choice to the hot milk and stir until fully dissolved.
Once the milk is ready, use a milk frother to froth it until it doubles in volume and becomes thick and foamy. Alternatively, you can whisk vigorously in the saucepan off the heat.
Pour the frothy milk over the matcha mixture slowly, holding back the froth with a spoon to pour it over the top at the end.
Stir gently to combine the matcha and milk, and then top with the froth.
Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your low-fat matcha latte.
