Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder
- 2 tablespoons hot water
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.5 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 packet stevia (optional)
Instructions
Sift 1 teaspoon of matcha green tea powder into a small bowl to remove any lumps.
Add 2 tablespoons of hot water (not boiling) to the sifted matcha powder. Use a matcha whisk or a small regular whisk to vigorously whisk in a zigzag motion until the matcha is fully dissolved and you have a smooth, clump-free mixture with a light froth on top.
In a small saucepan, heat 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk over medium heat. Stir occasionally and do not bring to a boil.
Once the almond milk is warmed through, remove from heat and add 0.5 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
If you desire extra sweetness, add 1 packet of stevia to the warm almond milk; however, this step is optional to keep the latte completely sugar-free.
Pour the warm almond milk into a blender, then add the whisked matcha mixture. Blend on high for about 30 seconds to achieve a frothy texture. Alternatively, you can use a milk frother to froth the almond milk after heating and then combine it with the matcha.
Pour the frothy matcha latte into your favorite mug and enjoy immediately.
