Start by sifting the matcha green tea powder into a small bowl to avoid clumps.
Add the 2 tablespoons of hot water to the bowl with matcha powder. The water should be just below boiling at around 175°F (80°C).
Using a bamboo whisk or a small regular whisk, vigorously mix the matcha and water until completely dissolved and you see a fine foam on top.
In a small saucepan, heat the unsweetened almond milk over medium heat until it's hot but not boiling. Stir occasionally.
Once the almond milk is hot, remove it from the heat. If you prefer a frothy latte, use a milk frother or whisk to foam the milk to your desired texture.
Pour the dissolved matcha mixture into your serving cup.
Slowly pour the hot almond milk into the matcha mixture, holding back the froth with a spoon if you prefer to add it last.
Gently stir in the maple syrup and vanilla extract to sweeten and flavor the latte.
Top with the reserved milk froth if desired, and enjoy your Vegan Classic Matcha Latte immediately!
