matcha latte

Matcha lattes have become a ubiquitous symbol of calm and comfort, their vibrant green hue gracing Instagram feeds and coffee shops alike. But beyond their aesthetic appeal, these creamy concoctions offer a unique flavor profile and potent antioxidants. If you want to incorporate matcha into your routine, a latte is a delightful start.

Matcha Latte Recipe Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to whip up your own matcha masterpiece:

  • 1 1/2 teaspoons matcha powder (culinary grade works well for lattes)
  • 1 tablespoon hot water (just below boiling)
  • 3/4 cup milk (Any milk will do dairy, nut-based, or oat milk all work beautifully)
  • Sweetener of your choice (honey, maple syrup, or a pinch of sugar)
  • Whisk or milk frother (optional)

The Art of Whisking for Matcha Latte

Whisking is very important for the best preparation of matcha latte. It involves four steps

Step 1: Sift the matcha powder

This crucial step eliminates clumps and ensures a smooth latte. Start by sifting 1-2 teaspoons of matcha powder into your bowl or cup to remove any clumps. This ensures a smooth consistency.

Step 2: Pour in the hot water.

Pour a small amount of hot water (not boiling, ideally around 175°F or 80°C) into the bowl. A common ratio is about 2 ounces of water for every teaspoon of matcha.

Step 3: Warm the milk

Heat your milk on the stovetop or steam it with a frother for a creamier texture.

Step 4: Combine and froth

Gently pour the milk into the matcha mixture and whisk again until frothy. Adjust the sweetness to your liking.
