Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon matcha green tea powder pure ceremonial
- ¼ cup hot water
- ½ cup oat milk
- Sweetener: maple syrup or honey (optional and to taste)
Instructions
- Add a teaspoon of matcha powder into a small bowl.
- Add in a small amount of hot (but not boiling) water (to help preserve the nutrients and avoid bitterness). I usually add around ¼ cup.
- Take the bamboo whisk and whisk until completely dissolved. Whisking in an “m” motion can help achieve a nice foam texture.
- Transfer the matcha mixture into a mug.
- Heat the milk until steaming, then make the froth using a whisk or milk frother. If you have an automatic milk frother, add the milk to the frother, heat, and froth the milk.
- Pour the milk into a mug over the matcha.
- Add sweetener if desired and to taste.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
Recipe tips:
- If you don't have a bamboo whisk, you can use a spoon, metal whisk, handheld frother, or blend the matcha in the blender.
- Matcha green tea latte tastes best lightly sweetened. I like to use pure maple syrup.
- The quality of matcha green tea powder is crucial for the overall taste of this drink, so don't go cheap when choosing the right matcha powder. I always use the highest ceremonial grade matcha.
- You can substitute oat milk with almond, coconut, organic soy, or cashew milk, Cow's milk doesn't work well with matcha.
