Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon Matcha green tea powder
- 60 ml Hot water
- 240 ml Low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon Honey or agave syrup (optional)
Instructions
Sift the matcha powder into a small bowl or mug to remove any lumps and ensure a smooth latte.
Heat 60 ml of water to just below boiling (around 80°C or 176°F).
Pour the hot water over the sifted matcha powder.
Use a bamboo whisk or a small regular whisk to vigorously whisk the matcha and water in a zigzag motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and frothy.
In a small saucepan, heat 240 ml of low-fat milk or unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until steaming but not boiling.
Optionally, use a milk frother to froth the milk for a more latte-like texture.
Pour the frothed milk into the matcha mixture while stirring gently to combine.
Add honey or agave syrup, if desired, for sweetness, and stir until fully blended.
Serve immediately in a mug or heatproof glass and enjoy your skinny matcha latte!
