Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons Hot water
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or non-dairy)
- 1 teaspoon Honey or sweetener of choice
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions
Start by sifting 1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder into a small bowl to remove any lumps for smoother blending.
Pour 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling) over the sifted matcha powder. Use water at about 175°F or 80°C for best results.
Use a bamboo whisk or a small regular whisk to vigorously whisk the matcha and water together until the mixture is smooth and frothy, ensuring there are no clumps of powder remaining.
In a small saucepan or using a microwave, heat 1 cup of milk until warm. Do not let it boil.
If desired, add 1 teaspoon of honey or your preferred sweetener to the warm milk and stir until it’s dissolved. Also, add 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor, if using.
Once the milk is warm and sweetened, pour the milk into the bowl of matcha mixture, continuously whisking to combine them thoroughly and create a light froth.
Serve immediately in a heatproof mug. Enjoy your homemade matcha latte hot, with an optional sprinkle of matcha powder on top for garnish.
